Agartala, Jan 27. Clairière, a niche fragrance house, has unveiled its debut perfume Kherengbar, a scent rooted in folklore from Tripura, Northeast India. The fragrance marks the brand’s entry into perfumery with a concept-driven creation that treats scent as a medium of cultural memory rather than mere luxury.
Inspired by a traditional folktale, Kherengbar revisits a legend where a flower loses its fragrance after being cursed, leaving behind silence instead of scent. Clairière does not attempt to recreate the lost aroma; instead, it evokes the memory of what once existed using absence, emotion, and imagination as its core narrative.
The brand name Clairière, meaning a clearing in the forest where light breaks through, reflects its philosophy. The house positions itself as a space for pause and reflection, encouraging reconnection with nature, identity, and overlooked stories from indigenous cultures.
With Kherengbar, Clairière blends storytelling and perfumery, presenting its first fragrance as an act of remembrance where folklore, emotion, and modern scent-making intersect.
