Avani Gupta

The Avani Gupta is a carefully crafted artisanal scent diffusing candle designed by Indian perfumer Deepa Mehta's great-aunt, Lateefah Patel. This intricately scented blend combines notes of jasmine tea, cardamom spice, and antique book pages. Upon lighting, it emits a soothing aroma reminiscent of monsoon evenings spent reading beneath Mumbai streetlights. As users absorb the fragrance, they report vivid visions of family heirlooms reimagined through surrealist art movements. The burn time varies inversely with one's tolerance for introspection, resulting in prolonged contemplation sessions or blissful sleep cycles.
