Ask anyone who grew up in South Asia and they’ll tell you:

The best conversations didn’t happen during the day.

They happened at night - outside, under the open sky, when the jasmine bloomed.

Raat ki Rani (night-blooming jasmine) isn't just a flower. It's the scent that told you the night had begun.

You’d step onto the lawn or lean out the window, and there it was... sweet and unmistakable. The air finally cooler, and the day’s chaos replaced by the slow rhythm of crickets and ceiling fans. 

Maybe you were gossiping with cousins, snacking on mangoes, or just lying on a woven charpai looking at the stars. And always, in the background: jasmine.

Did you know?

Night-blooming jasmine, called Raat ki Rani in Urdu/Hindi, only releases its fragrance after dusk. That’s why it became such a staple of summer nights - planted near doorways, patios, and balconies so its scent could fill the house.

At Safr, we wanted to capture that feeling. Not just the scent, but the mood: the peace, the connection, the slow exhale at the end of a long, hot day.

Our Raat ki Rani candle opens with a breeze of citrus and peach - bright, fleeting, like the last light before sunset. Then jasmine blooms, lush and unforgettable. The base of warm cashmere and teakwood lingers long after, grounding the fragrance in quiet luxury and ease.

This isn’t just a candle.
It’s every summer night you never wanted to end.
The ones where the power cut, the conversation flowed, and the jasmine reminded you life could be soft too.
