The Return to the Source of Life – with HIMA JOMO
Craving a retreat from modern urban life into the raw, untouched beauty of nature? During the pandemic, the contrast between our increasingly urban lifestyle and the natural world became strikingly clear. For many, this time of isolation awakened a profound longing for authenticity, stillness, and a reconnection with the Earth.
This deep-rooted desire also inspired the founders of HIMA JOMO, a French niche fragrance house devoted to nature, mindfulness, and the power of scent. Drawing inspiration from the majestic wilderness of the Himalayas, HIMA JOMO crafts natural niche perfumes that embody serenity, purity, and emotional depth.
The Himalayas – with their towering peaks, ancient forests, and botanical richness – are not only one of the world’s most awe-inspiring mountain ranges, but also a treasure trove of olfactory diversity. From aromatic wild plants and sacred woods to crisp alpine air, these elements inspire HIMA JOMO’s unique fragrance creations. Each perfume becomes an olfactory journey into the heart of nature, inviting wearers to reconnect with their inner balance and the true sources of life and well-being.
Stretching across India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, the Himalayas are home to the Earth’s highest peak, Mount Everest, and a sanctuary for countless rare species such as the endangered snow leopard. The region’s spiritual and ecological significance shapes the identity of HIMA JOMO – where natural ingredients, artisanal craftsmanship and emotional storytelling converge.

The story behind HIMA JOMO
At the heart of the HIMA JOMO brand is a profound philosophy, marked by wisdom and spiritual insight. It encourages people in modern society to detach themselves from external influences and find inner satisfaction and fulfillment. This philosophy of life is similar to the way of life of the nomads in the Himalayas, whose simple, stripped-down life in isolation teaches that true happiness is not found in abundance, but in the joy of the simple things. The word HIMA stands for the sacred place of snow and the source of life. JOMO, on the other hand, symbolizes the goddess who watches over the majestic, snow-capped mountains and embodies the joy needed to enjoy life to the fullest.
A tribute to the beauty of the Himalayas
The Himalayas are home to thousands of natural treasures that offer exceptional olfactory and sensory impressions. In tribute to the diverse, natural beauty of the Himalayan landscape, HIMA JOMA presents contemporary perfumes that speak of the harmony of the rich cultures, landscapes and traditions of this hidden sanctuary. Some of the Himalayas' noblest plants are used in the perfumes. All fragrances in the collection are gender-neutral and suitable for both women and men. The creators of HIMA JOMO creations include renowned "noses" such as Bertrand Duchaufour , Amélie Bourgeois, Barnabé Fillion and Delphine Thierry. The entire HIMA JOMA product line is cruelty-free and comes in recyclable packaging with minimal use of plastic to reduce environmental impact and the carbon footprint.
The Himalayas as a source of the finest ingredients
The Himalayas are highly valued in perfumery as a significant source of numerous fine perfume raw materials. The rich and unspoiled nature of this region offers a wealth of botanical treasures known for their intense and distinctive aromas. One of the most precious raw materials from the Himalayas is sandalwood, whose warm, woody aroma plays a central role in many perfumes. The rare and sought-after Himalayan saffron is also used in exclusive perfume compositions because of its deep, spicy scent. The Himalayas are home to plants such as rhododendron and various types of cedarwood, whose essential oils bring unique, earthy and fresh notes to perfumes. The region also supplies valuable resins and balsams that serve as fixatives and extend the shelf life of fragrances. These natural raw materials from the Himalayas are sought after not only for their fragrance profiles, but also for their purity and sustainable cultivation methods, which are often in line with the traditional practices of local communities.
commitment to nature, culture and sustainability
Social and community involvement is a central part of the brand. HIMA JOMO is actively committed to protecting nature and preserving cultural diversity in the Himalayas. Since the founding of the HIMA JOMO ASSOCIATION in 2023, the company has maintained various partnerships with non-profit organizations in the region. One of the most important projects is supporting the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to protect the endangered snow leopard. In 2022 and 2023, 1% of sales were donated to WWF to support their work in the Himalayas. Together with Juniper Trust, HIMA JOMO is committed to a greener future. As part of this partnership, a tree will be planted in the Himalayas for every bottle sold from the HIMA JOMO collection. The company also works with NEPAL EVERGREEN, an organization dedicated to fighting deforestation in the Himalayas. With these initiatives, HIMA JOMO actively contributes to the protection of nature, biodiversity and cultural preservation of the Himalayas and pursues its vision of sustainable luxury perfumery.
