- According to legend, a noble athlete and warrior called the Chaugan travelled out East thousands of years ago. The myth of the Chaugan started in Persia and made its way to Arabia and Tibet, to China and Japan, to Egypt and India, and finally arrived in England in the 14th century. In perfumery, Chaugan is a French niche brand inspired by the sporty Chaugan who is said to be the ancestor of polo. The house of Chaugan re-launched its 2013 collection La Rosee des Jardins d'Ispahan two years later feature a harmony of spices, flowers and gourmand scents. The Chaugan perfume collection has top notes of black pepper, candied ginger, and Canina rose. It further develops into a sweet scent of rose and incense with delicate tones of raspberry. Every Chaugan perfume rests on a base of sandalwood, precious leather, and warm amber.
