Tottagatti recently showcased its Huile de Parfum collection at V4 Exhibitions – 6th Edition, held at AARAA – The Design Gallery, House of Amor, Vastrapur, Ahmedabad. As India’s first Huile de Parfum brand, this was a meaningful opportunity to bring our “Drop. Rub. Smell.” philosophy directly to fragrance lovers in our home city.
A Stall Full of Firsts
For many visitors, this was their first time experiencing an oil-based perfume up close — and the reaction was exactly what we hoped for. People were curious, then surprised, then genuinely won over once they tried it on skin. There’s something about watching someone discover that a single drop can outlast a full spray that never gets old for us.
Our PRIVE collection drew steady interest throughout the exhibition, with visitors spending real time at the stall testing different scents, asking about ingredients, and comparing the oil-based format to the sprays they were used to.
Strong Visitor Response
The footfall at our stall was one of the most encouraging signs yet that Ahmedabad is ready for a homegrown, alcohol-free fragrance brand. Conversations ranged from first-time buyers exploring fragrance oils to seasoned perfume enthusiasts who already understood the appeal of long-lasting, skin-friendly scent — and wanted to know why they hadn’t heard of Tottagatti sooner.
A recurring theme in the feedback we received: people appreciated that the fragrance didn’t fade by midday, and several visitors mentioned the packaging as a reason they’d consider gifting it.
Crowd Favorites at the Stall
A handful of fragrances stood out as clear visitor favorites, drawing people back for a second sniff before they made up their minds:
- Rouge of Fire PRIVE— a bold, unisex scent that pulled in visitors looking for something with strong character and staying power.
- Royal Dusk PRIVE’ — one of the most-requested fragrances at the stall, with several visitors coming back specifically to buy it after testing it earlier in the day.
- Temptress PRIVE’— a favorite among visitors looking for a scent with a bit of mystery and depth, and one of the most talked-about fragrances from our for-her range.
- Unrivalled PRIVE’ — consistently one of our top performers, and the exhibition was no exception, with visitors drawn to its refined, long-lasting profile.
Seeing people gravitate toward these four in particular — across different age groups and preferences — was a strong signal that Tottagatti’s range resonates well beyond a single “hero” scent.
What This Means for Tottagatti
Exhibitions like V4 give us something our website and social channels can’t fully replicate — real, in-person reactions to the product. Every conversation at the stall is a reminder of why we started Tottagatti: there’s a genuine gap in the Indian market for perfume that respects both skin and staying power.
A big thank you to the V4 Exhibitions team for hosting a beautifully curated event at AARAA – The Design Gallery, and to everyone in Ahmedabad who stopped by, tried a drop, and took a piece of Tottagatti home with them.
We’ll be at more exhibitions soon — follow along for updates on where to find us next.
