Introducing the Gourmand Bazaar Collection.
Barfi Vanille and Chai Tabac debut at Pitti Fragranze 2026, two new fragrances inspired by the rituals of indulgence and conviviality in Indian culture.
Milano, September 14, 2026 – ŚASVA presented the Gourmand Bazaar collection at Pitti Fragranze 2026, a tribute to the Indian culture of sweetness, indulgence and the pleasure of savouring slowly. Rooted in the world of mithai, chai rituals and bustling market stalls, the collection explores the allure of what is delicious, comforting and deliberately excessive. Barfi Vanille embodies its most playful and seductive side, while Chai Tabac captures its deeper, warmer and more intimate character. Together, the two fragrances celebrate gourmand pleasure as memory, ritual and desire.
Barfi Vanille
Barfi Vanille is pure mischief wrapped in sweetness. Inspired by the irresistible allure of Indian mithai, the country’s traditional sweets, it captures the moment when caramelised sugar, toasted nuts and creamy milk-based desserts fill the air with warmth and pleasure. In this spirit, Barfi Vanille is an indulgent concentration of sweetness: adored, deliciously tempting and delightfully cheeky. Playful and mischievous, it embodies the irresistible temptation of something so good that you simply cannot resist savouring it.
Chai Tabac
There is a particular magic in the simplest moments: a shared cup of chai, laughter in the air, the sweetness of toffee slowly melting on the palate. Chai Tabac captures the intimate rituals and convivial moments deeply rooted in Indian culture, where the warmth of milky chai meets the soft trail of tobacco smoke. It evokes both quiet corners and lively tea stalls, where people gather over steaming glasses of rich, aromatic tea, softened by creamy milky notes and the indulgent sweetness of toffee. The fragrance captures all the warmth of that embrace, the sweetness of biscuit crumbs, the softness of caramelised sugar and the velvety depth of tobacco, transforming an everyday pleasure into a luxurious and nostalgic experience.
The fragrance opens with creamy milky tea accords blended with soft lactonic notes, evoking the comforting warmth of freshly prepared chai. The heart unfolds with the indulgent sweetness of crumbly biscuit and golden toffee, creating a rich gourmand universe. Finally, a smooth and velvety tobacco note envelops the fragrance in a delicate smoky atmosphere, accompanied by vanilla and warm amber accords that linger on the skin like a whisper of nostalgia and refinement.
