Raat: Where Ritual Meets Romance

Saaakshi

New York, NY, USA

Raat is a South Asian fragrance brand that celebrates the opulence, emotion, and sensory overload of Indian weddings. Drawing inspiration from gilded jewelry, embroidered silks, and the electric energy of a wedding night, the brand embraces excess with intention. Named after the Hindi word for “night,” Raat nods to the traditional Suhaag Raat—the first night shared by newlyweds—reimagining it as a bold, sensual scent story. The identity weaves together maximalist visual cues, South Asian typography, and lush textures to echo the layers of ritual, romance, and revelry that define the wedding experience.
