OUR STORY

Yogesh Thaker—There are moments in life when a scent becomes a memory — perhaps years old, yet still vividly fresh. You recall the aroma of a room as you walked in, or a lingering trace of someone’s perfume that stays with you. Scents have the power to etch memories deep within us.

 

That’s the essence of SIXTEEN’s. Imagine owning a fragrance so distinct and beautiful that it not only becomes part of your identity, but also creates lasting memories for those around you — your signature scent.

 

Inspired by the calm and clarity of crystals, and years of research, I created the Elementals collection: clean, soulful fragrances designed to feel effortless, familiar, and deeply personal.

 

Astha Thaker—Sixteen’s Olfactory Lab is a science-led creation.

 

The name comes from the atomic number of sulphur: 16 — a quiet tribute to the chemistry behind each scent.

 

What fascinates me is how something like sulphur — sharp, strong, and often unpleasant — can, in just the right dose, elevate a fragrance. That kind of transformation is only possible through science.

 

Every fragrance is mindfully curated to offer a sense of individuality — to let you wear something that feels like your own.

 

This project is deeply personal to me. It’s where my curiosity, creativity, and love for fragrance come together.
