Isak: A Timeless Symphony of Regal Scents
Isak, inspired by the Hindi word ‘Ishq,’ embodies the soul of Uttar Pradesh—a timeless blend of passion and artistry. Our journey began in Lucknow’s royal courts of the 1850s, when Mr. Chhunnamal Vijayvergiya crafted a scent so enchanting it redefined Indian perfumery. Over six generations, we’ve preserved the heritage of hand-blended formulations while embracing modernity, creating fragrances that are experiences—rich in nostalgia yet relevant to today. Rooted in artisanal craftsmanship and originality, Isak thrives on the balance of tradition and innovation, offering scents that echo stories of legacy, love, and an enduring commitment to the art of perfumery.
OUR HISTORY
It was in the era of the 1850s, when our story came to life. The then Begum, received an anonymous consignment of the most exquisite lucknowi chikankari ensembles, lingering with the rarest of aromas, enticing even the discerning 'royal nose' and making her fall in love with the scent.
The Essence of ISAK
Passion Meets Legacy in Every Scent
ISAK is a legacy rooted in love, artistry, and the essence of tradition. Derived from the Hindi word ‘ISHQ’ (/IS(e)K/), meaning passion or deep love, ISAK carries forward the spirit of its origins in Uttar Pradesh, where our story began over 170 years ago. In a world shifting towards mass production, we stand as a beacon of authenticity, creating artisanal fragrances that transcend time. With a blend of heritage and innovation, ISAK is more than a perfume; it is an experience—a tribute to the enduring romance of Indian perfumery. Perfected the art of fortunate balance and proportion, our perfumery creates progressive compositions for today.
