HUME SRK Special Fragrance Notes Explained
HUME SRK Special aims at fresh neroli-style character, peppery spice, aromatic woods and creamy sandalwood-like smoothness. Cedar-, cypress- and vetiver-style dryness explain its chosen Tam Dao + Icon inspiration rather than a verified HUME ingredient list. Observe opening, heart and dry-down instead of assuming an identical progression.

HUME developed this fragrance with the goal of approaching the inspiration profile closely. Oil concentration is a formulation specification, not a guarantee of superior longevity, projection or similarity.
What do the original references describe?
Diptyque describes Tam Dao Eau de Parfum’s sandalwood-led creamy woody direction. Icon’s official fragrance reference identifies a woody-aromatic family with neroli, black pepper and vetiver. These give context for HUME’s inspiration rather than proving identical materials or confirming SRK’s exact fragrance variants.
How can you understand the combined scent journey?
Observe fresh peppery character first, aromatic woods and smoothness as it settles, then woody dryness later. Neroli-style freshness suggests a bright floral-citrus impression, while sandalwood-style creaminess suggests softer woods. These are observation cues, not a verified timed HUME note pyramid.
What is confirmed about SRK’s fragrance combination?
Shah Rukh Khan named Dunhill and Diptyque in his original interview, without identifying the exact variants. Tam Dao + Icon is HUME’s chosen inspiration; it is not a confirmed personal formula or celebrity collaboration.
Sources: GQ India’s original fragrance interview, Diptyque’s Tam Dao Eau de Parfum profile and Icon’s official woody-aromatic profile.
Compare other directions: Oud Wood, Aventus, Imagine, Sauvage and Myrrh & Tonka.
Is HUME SRK Special endorsed by Shah Rukh Khan, Diptyque or Dunhill?
No. HUME SRK Special is an independent inspired interpretation with no endorsement, sponsorship, collaboration or affiliation with Shah Rukh Khan, Diptyque or Dunhill. His original statement names the fragrance houses, not Tam Dao and Icon as the exact variants.
