Aura – Inspired by Burberry's Body
Aura – Inspired by Body EDP
Body EDP Alternative in India — "The Scent of Second Skin" | Peach, Freesia, Rose, Iris, Cashmere Wood, Musk & Vanilla | From ₹99 | For Women
Starting from ₹99
Aura is a soft, sensual, and deeply feminine women's fragrance inspired by Body EDP — the celebrated composition created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian for one of Britain's most iconic fashion and heritage houses, described by the fragrance community as the olfactory equivalent of a second skin: warm, close, and irresistibly intimate.
Peach and freesia open with a soft, slightly fruity sweetness that is instantly appealing. Rose, iris, and sandalwood create a warm, refined floral-woody heart of exceptional elegance. Cashmere wood, musk, and vanilla settle into a base so skin-close and so beautifully intimate that reviewers describe it as "the fragrance that makes you smell like the most beautiful version of yourself."
Perfect for office, everyday wear, and any occasion that deserves quiet, confident femininity. From ₹99.
🎨 The Perfumer — Nikhil Singhal & the Vision of Aura
When Nikhil Singhal set out to create Aura for World of Perfumers, he was working with a brief that is deceptively simple and technically demanding: capture the DNA of Body EDP — the fragrance Francis Kurkdjian created around the concept of a woman's skin at its most beautiful — a composition designed not to announce itself loudly but to become something intimate, personal, and deeply, quietly beautiful on whoever wears it.
Nikhil Singhal is the founder and master perfumer of World of Perfumers — India's finest destination for inspired luxury fragrances. His philosophy is the same with Aura as with every fragrance in the collection: that every Indian woman deserves to wear something genuinely, luxuriously beautiful. That a woman in Kanpur, Mangalore, Jodhpur, or Dibrugarh deserves the same soft peach-freesia opening, the same warm rose-iris-sandalwood heart, and the same skin-close cashmere-musk-vanilla drydown that makes Body EDP so universally, enduringly beloved — from just ₹99.
With Aura, Nikhil focused on the composition's most defining and most technically delicate element: the cashmere wood. Cashmere wood is not a note you can simply add and adjust by quantity — it requires precise calibration against the musk and vanilla base to achieve the warm, close, intimate character that distinguishes Body EDP from every other floral woody women's fragrance. Too much and it becomes heavy; too little and Aura loses the skin-like quality that is the composition's soul. Nikhil worked to achieve that precise balance — the warmth that feels like it belongs to the wearer rather than something applied to them — using imported fragrance oils of the quality this beloved composition demands.
Every bottle of Aura that leaves the World of Perfumers workshop carries that intention: to give every Indian woman the fragrance that makes her smell like the most beautiful version of herself — from just ₹99.
Aura is not just an inspired fragrance. It is Nikhil Singhal's belief — made wearable — that every Indian woman deserves to feel the quiet, warm, irresistible confidence of her own skin at its most beautiful.
What Does Body EDP Actually Smell Like?
Body EDP is one of those fragrances that is immediately, effortlessly beautiful — a soft, warm, floral-woody composition that is simultaneously elegant and deeply personal. It does not announce itself. It simply makes whoever wears it smell wonderful — warm, close, and beautifully, quietly feminine.
Fragrantica's community describes it with consistent warmth: "Body EDP is the perfect everyday luxury — understated, completely feminine, and impossible to dislike. The cashmere wood base is one of the most beautiful things in women's perfumery." Parfumo: "A warm hug in fragrance form. The peach-freesia opening is soft and immediately appealing; the rose-iris heart is refined and elegant; and the cashmere-musk-vanilla base is one of the finest skin-close drydowns available at any price."
The defining quality of Body EDP is its intimacy — a fragrance that works with the wearer's skin chemistry rather than over it, creating the uniquely personal impression the fragrance community calls "second skin." The fragrance that makes people say: you always smell wonderful — what is that?
Fragrance Profile — Notes & DNA
Peach & Freesia — Aura's opening is immediately soft, slightly fruity, and entirely, beautifully feminine. Peach — warm, slightly velvety, gently sweet — provides the first impression: a soft fruitiness that is not heavy or juicy but delicate, like the skin of a ripe peach warmed by afternoon sun. It creates an immediate sense of warmth and approachability that makes Body EDP one of the most universally liked women's fragrances.
Freesia — one of the most delicately feminine floral notes, slightly green, slightly sweet, with a characteristic clean brightness — adds a spring-morning freshness that lifts the peach into something luminous and clean. Together, peach and freesia create the opening reviewers describe as "immediately soft and feminine — the kind of opening that makes you smile without knowing exactly why." Warm, soft, and completely inviting.
Rose, Iris & Sandalwood — The heart of Aura reveals its genuine elegance and British heritage character. Rose — not the loud, heavy rose of classical floral perfumery but a warm, quietly beautiful rose — anchors the heart with the most timelessly feminine note in all of perfumery. Iris — powdery, slightly cool, aristocratically refined — adds the quality the fragrance community describes as "quietly expensive." Sandalwood — warm, creamy, slightly milky woody — provides the transition between the floral heart and the intimate cashmere base, preparing the skin for the extraordinary drydown. Together, rose, iris, and sandalwood create a heart Parfumo describes as "refined and elegant — the kind of floral-woody heart that never goes wrong and never goes out of style."
Cashmere Wood, Musk & Vanilla — The base of Aura is where the fragrance earns its legend. Cashmere wood — a synthetic ingredient of extraordinary warmth and skin-like intimacy, developed to evoke the feeling of soft cashmere against warm skin — is the note that defines Body EDP and makes it unlike anything else in the floral-woody women's category. It is the smell of warmth itself: cosy, close, and deeply personal. Musk — clean, skin-close, intimate — amplifies the cashmere wood's warmth into the "second skin" quality that reviewers consistently cite as the Body EDP's most distinctive characteristic. Vanilla — warm, balsamic, gently sweet — adds a comforting depth that makes the drydown genuinely long-lasting and beautiful. Together, they create what Fragrantica calls "the most beautiful skin-close drydown in the accessible women's fragrance space."
The Scent Journey — Hour by Hour
🍑 First 15 Minutes
Peach and freesia arrive — soft, slightly fruity, immediately warm and feminine. The opening of Aura is the olfactory equivalent of stepping into a warm room on a cool morning: instantly comfortable, quietly beautiful, and entirely welcoming. Unlike heavy or loud women's fragrances, Aura announces itself with a gentle confidence — present but never overwhelming. The people nearest to you will notice immediately. They may not be able to name it. But they will smile.
🌹 30 Min – 2 Hours
Rose and iris bloom through the fruity opening — warm, refined, quietly beautiful. Sandalwood adds its creamy, woody warmth. This is Aura at its most classically elegant — the full floral-woody phase that makes it so perfectly suited to office environments and professional settings where presence matters but restraint is equally important. The Fragrantica reviewer who calls Body EDP "impossible to dislike" is describing exactly this phase: warm, beautiful, and entirely unthreatening in the best possible way.
🧣 2 – 5 Hours
Cashmere wood arrives — warm, soft, skin-like. Not a note you consciously identify but a quality you immediately feel: the sense that the fragrance has become part of the wearer rather than something applied to them. Musk amplifies the cashmere intimacy. The rose and iris soften into a warm floral memory threading through the cashmere base. The "second skin" phase — the reason Body EDP is described as "the fragrance that makes you smell like yourself, but better."
✨ 5–8+ Hours
Vanilla, cashmere wood, and musk create a warm, soft, endlessly beautiful skin trail that persists through the full day and beyond. On clothing, Aura's cashmere-vanilla character can last 24 hours. The final impression is warm, slightly sweet, soft, and deeply personal — the fragrance equivalent of a perfect day that lingers long after it has ended. Reviewers of Body EDP consistently cite this drydown as the reason they repurchase: "I can't stop wearing it. It just smells like me — but the best version of me."
Compliment Factor
🌸 Compliment Score: 8.5/10 — "You Always Smell Wonderful — What Are You Wearing?"
Body EDP generates compliments in a uniquely intimate and personal way — not the loud, immediate reaction of a heavy oriental but the quieter, more meaningful observation that someone simply smells wonderful all day. It is the fragrance that earns "you always smell amazing" rather than "what is that?" — the compliment that speaks to a fragrance that has become part of the wearer's identity. Reviewers describe it as a consistent compliment earner in professional settings — trusted by colleagues and appreciated by everyone who enters their space.

💡 Why Body EDP Is Called "The Second Skin Fragrance": Most women's fragrances project — they announce themselves, fill a room, make an impression before the wearer arrives. Body EDP does something different: it disappears into the skin and becomes part of it. The cashmere wood note Francis Kurkdjian built the base around is a synthetic material designed specifically to replicate the warmth and intimacy of cashmere against warm skin.
The effect is genuinely, uniquely beautiful: a fragrance that does not sit on top of the wearer but becomes them — warm, close, and personal in a way that much more expensive fragrances fail to achieve. It is the reason Body EDP reviewers describe it as "the fragrance that makes you smell like yourself, but better."
That British heritage, cashmere-skin DNA is now available in India from ₹99 at World of Perfumers.

FAQs — Aura Perfume
Yes — Aura by World of Perfumers is directly inspired by Body EDP, the celebrated fragrance created by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. It captures the same peach-freesia opening, rose-iris-sandalwood floral-woody heart, and cashmere wood-musk-vanilla base DNA that made Body EDP one of the most universally loved women's fragrances in the accessible luxury space — at a fraction of the ₹8,000+ India retail price. Made in India with imported fragrance oils from Dubai, France, and Switzerland.
Aura opens with a soft, gently fruity burst of peach and freesia — warm, slightly sweet, immediately feminine. The heart deepens into rose (warm, classic, quietly beautiful), iris (powdery, cool, aristocratically refined), and sandalwood (creamy, woody, warm). The base settles into cashmere wood (the defining "second skin" note — warm, intimate, skin-like), clean musk, and vanilla (warm, balsamic, comforting). Overall: soft fruity opening, warm floral-woody heart, intimate cashmere drydown — feminine, elegant, and effortlessly beautiful all day.
Aura is one of the most genuinely versatile fragrances in the WOPS women's collection — its soft projection and warm-but-not-heavy character makes it appropriate year-round in India. In Indian spring and autumn, the peach-freesia opening blooms most beautifully in mild temperatures. In Indian winter, the cashmere wood and vanilla base deepens magnificently in cool air. In Indian summer, the soft projection means Aura remains wearable in heat, particularly indoors and in air-conditioned environments.
Aura is one of the finest office women's fragrances available in India — its soft projection, universally appealing character, and intimate rather than loud sillage makes it appropriate for every professional environment. The rose-iris-sandalwood heart is sophisticated and professional; the cashmere-musk base is intimate without being intrusive. Multiple reviewers describe Body EDP as "the perfect professional women's fragrance" — understated enough to be appropriate, beautiful enough to earn consistent compliments.
Aura lasts 6–8+ hours on skin with soft to moderate projection — the intimate cashmere-musk character means Aura is a skin-close fragrance rather than a room-filling one, which is entirely intentional. On clothing, the cashmere wood, vanilla, and musk base persists beautifully for 24+ hours. For maximum longevity, apply 2–3 sprays to moisturised pulse points — wrists, neck, and inner elbows.
Aura is one of the most universally appropriate and most reliably appreciated women's fragrance gifts available in India. Body EDP's soft, warm, floral-woody character is liked by virtually every woman who encounters it — making it one of the safest gift choices in the WOPS collection. For birthdays, Mother's Day, Diwali, and any Indian occasion where you want to give something genuinely beautiful that will be worn and loved every day — Aura from ₹99 is the answer.
