The foothills of the Ile Alatau are filled with the aroma of the morning forest. The sun light is striking through the spreading boughs of Schrenk's spruces and warming the covering of dry spruce needles and green young grass. There is a smell in the air of meadow flowers and mushrooms, cold waters of a mountain river and the frosty freshness of glaciers.

All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for quiet altitude and clear air: the kind of fragrance that feels most natural in a crisp morning walk or a close indoor setting where its herbal-woody structure can unfold without heat flattening it. It projects a composed, slightly nostalgic presence.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its aromatic freshness and woody base stay distinct. Apply lightly to the chest or neck for a restrained trail; in warmer air, one or two sprays are enough to keep the lavender, nutmeg and sandalwood from becoming too dry.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like aromatic woods with a vintage edge, a clean mineral freshness and a natural, outdoorsy character. It suits those drawn to understated, slightly dry compositions rather than sweet or overtly modern styles.

Aura of Kazakhstan’s story
Aura of Kazakhstan builds fragrances as portraits of place, drawing on the country’s nature, history and cultural memory. The house presents itself as a bridge between heritage and modernity, translating mountains, steppes and urban life into a distinctly Kazakh olfactory language.
Music of Mountains’s concept
Music of Mountains was created as an impression of the Ile Alatau foothills, where morning forest air, spruce needles, wildflowers and cold river water meet the frosty freshness of glaciers. It belongs to Aura of Kazakhstan’s broader project of turning local landscapes into scent narratives.
Extra info
Aura of Kazakhstan is presented as the first Kazakh perfume house. Music of Mountains is one of its nature-inspired compositions, and its imagery centers on the Ile Alatau, spruce forests and glacier-cold mountain water.
