Srikandi 2026

Srikandi begins powdery, fruity fresh, like the scent of freshly showered happy little girls skipping along to school. The crisp morning air is clean after a tropical storm the night before, and on the school grounds frangipani flowers are freshly strewn from a triplet of old trees, its dewy petals by the hundreds perfuming the classrooms. The scent does not stay 'little girl' for long. It 'grows up' little by little and without realising you get the scent of lipstick and make up, of memories and whispered thoughts, the hopes and dreams of youthful ladies. Soon, sophisticated amber and rose intermingle to evolve into something grown up, a floriental for the confident woman who is out to conquer the world with her simpleness in virtue and steadfastness in duty.

Srikandi is inspired by the perfumer Fazzillah Noordin's all-girls school, Convent Bukit Nanas in Kuala Lumpur. The perfume was initially named '1899' as a commemorative perfume for the convent's 120th anniversary in 2019. Convent Bukit Nanas was instituted in 1899 by the French Infant Jesus Sisters with the motto 'Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty'.
