Mumbai, India — For a long time in India, enjoying quality fragrances meant either spending heavily on imported designer bottles or settling for whatever was available at the local market. Perfume and More , a Mumbai based perfume shop, is changing that equation and doing so from a position of genuine industry knowledge.
Started by a Master Blender, Not Just a Retailer
The business was founded by John Gonsalves in 2017, a Mumbai fragrance lover and master blender who spent years investigating the local and international perfume industry before launching independently. That background makes Perfume and More different from a typical perfume or attar shop. Gonsalves understands fragrance from a formulator’s perspective, how raw materials behave, how scent profiles are constructed, and what separates a well-sourced product from a poorly made one. That knowledge is reflected in everything the shop stocks and supplies.
What Perfume and More Offers
The range at Perfume and More is built to serve two very different kinds of buyers, and that is exactly what makes it stand out.
For fragrance lovers and everyday customers, the shop carries:
Designer inspired perfume, also known as clone perfume sprays that capture the essence of popular international scents without the imported price tag
Concentrated inspired perfume oils in a roll-ons, practical formats that suit Indian weather and work well even through a long, humid day for people looking for non-alcoholic perfume.
Clone perfumes across niche and designer references, with several options comfortably under ₹500, making quality fragrance accessible for all budgets
For small shop owners, DIY formulators, and home fragrance businesses, Perfume and More also doubles as a raw material supplier. The ingredient range includes
Anyone who has tried sourcing these materials locally in India knows how patchy and unreliable the supply can be. This is where having John Gonsalves, a working master blender, behind the counter makes a real difference. He is not just selling ingredients; he understands how they are used.
Sourcing Connected to Global Fragrance Houses
A key part of what informs quality at Perfume and More is its supply chain. The business sources through importers with connections to some of the most respected fragrance ingredient manufacturers in the world — including Firmenich (Switzerland), Parfex and Argeville (France), Iberchem (Spain), Moellhausen (Italy), Charabot (France), EFF (UK), as well as Seluz Fragrances (Turkey), Luzi and Luxodor from the UAE. These are established names in professional perfumery, and being connected to their supply networks, even as an independent Mumbai shop, speaks to the seriousness with which Perfume and More approaches ingredient quality.
A Reflection of How Indian Fragrance Culture Is Growing
The appetite for best clone perfumes in India and inspired perfume oils is not just about saving money; it reflects a maturing fragrance culture where more Indians are exploring scent seriously, learning about different fragrance families, and seeking variety beyond what mainstream retail typically offers. Perfume and More sits at an interesting intersection of this shift: accessible enough for a first-time buyer, knowledgeable enough for a serious enthusiast or small trade buyer.
Fragrance lovers across Mumbai and India looking for inspired perfume oils, clone perfumes, or premium fragrance ingredients will find in Perfume and More a shop that is built on real expertise, not just shelf space.
