Known as Mehrunissa, the most powerful empress of the Mughal dynasty, Noor Jahan was the favorite wife of emperor Jehangir. She was the true power behind the throne while her husband lived, so much so that after his death her male relatives had her sequestered (in comfort!) for the rest of her life. In her confinement, she devoted herself to the art of perfumery as it had been passed down from her mother.Mohur is a rose-based fragrance, a combination of opulent moghul rose perfumes and a distinguished spicy leather bouquet that can only be imagined during a high tea after a polo match. To capture this moment, Mohur has been created as a refined rose-oudh alliance that pays tribute to noor Jahan’s power and talent.Mohur was created in 2011. It was launched in the USA in January 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour.
