The short version
Solera is an indie Indian eau de parfum house — four 100ml fragrances, each at ₹2,096, stocked at Stylera's Solera collection. If you're choosing between them today, here's the honest take:
- No.14 — For Women (saffron + jasmine top, floral woody amber): the romantic, daytime-easy pick. Bright opening, soft dry-down. Most-bought of the four.
- No.24 — Unisex (woody powdery top, warm amber base): the evening signature. Deeper, slower, more intimate. The connoisseur pick.
- No.18 — For Men (mint + green apple + lemon top, fresh citrus woody): the daily-driver. Office, smart casual, summer.
- No.20 — Unisex (orange + grapefruit + pepper top, citrus woody spicy): the bold one. For when you want to be remembered.

What Solera actually is
Solera is one of those Indian indie fragrance houses that quietly built a real cult following before most of the country noticed. Four fragrances, no filler. Each one designed around a clear olfactive direction rather than the everything-for-everyone scattershot you get from bigger Indian perfume brands. Premium fragrance oil concentration (eau de parfum, not the lighter eau de toilette), 100ml flacons, designer bottles that look like they cost three times what they do.
At Stylera we've seen Solera become the surprise breakout of our personal-care category. The brand's dedicated page is now one of the most-visited destinations on our site — a sign that Indian fragrance buyers are starting to look past the same three legacy names.
No.14 (For Women) — the romantic daytime pick
Top notes: saffron, jasmine. Heart: ambergris, hedione. Base: fir resin, cedar, sugar, ambroxan, oakmoss.
Solera No.14 opens with saffron — not the harsh, medicinal saffron some Indian attars use, but a softer, slightly sweet saffron that immediately reads as feminine without leaning saccharine. Jasmine comes in within the first few minutes, rounding out the top into something genuinely beautiful.
The heart, anchored by ambergris and hedione (the synthetic that gives most luxury florals their luminous, sun-on-skin quality), keeps the fragrance alive through the workday. By evening, the dry-down settles into a soft woody amber — oakmoss and cedar with a touch of sweetness from the sugar accord and ambroxan.
Best for: daily wear, office, brunch, daytime weddings. Compliments without effort.
Longevity: 6–8 hours on skin, longer on fabric.
Who should buy this: if you wear florals but want one that reads as grown-up rather than girlish.
Shop No.14 at Stylera — ₹2,096, 100ml
No.24 (Unisex) — the evening signature
Top notes: woody (powdery). Heart: warm spicy. Base: aromatic, amber.
If No.14 is morning light, No.24 is the same room at 9pm with a dimmer turned down. The opening is restrained — a soft powdery wood that doesn't announce itself the way a citrus or floral would. Within the first 30 minutes the warm spicy heart starts coming through, and by hour two No.24 has settled into a rich aromatic amber that sits very close to the skin.
This is the Solera fragrance for people who already know they like warm, complex, slightly mysterious scents. It's not a crowd-pleaser. It's an intentional choice.
Best for: evenings, dinner dates, layered styling with darker outfits like Boozee's Tribal Denim or a structured blazer.
Longevity: 8–10 hours, with the amber base often lasting overnight on clothing.
Who should buy this: anyone who finds typical "unisex" fragrances too neutral. No.24 has a clear point of view.

No.14 vs No.24 — head to head
The two best-selling Solera fragrances couldn't be more different.
| Dimension | No.14 (Women) | No.24 (Unisex) |
|---|---|---|
| Olfactive group | Floral Woody Amber | Woody Amber Warm |
| Opening | Bright — saffron + jasmine | Restrained — powdery wood |
| Personality | Romantic, daytime-easy | Deeper, intimate, evening |
| Projection | Moderate | Close to skin |
| Longevity | 6–8 hours | 8–10 hours |
| Best for | Office, brunch, daytime events | Dinner, dates, evenings |
| Style pairing | Light, feminine, sundresses | Structured, darker outfits |
| If you already love… | Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Dior J'adore | Tom Ford Black Orchid, Maison Margiela By the Fireplace |
| Price | ₹2,096 | ₹2,096 |
The honest tiebreaker
If you mostly wear fragrance during the day and want compliments at the office — No.14. If you wear fragrance mostly for yourself and prefer scents that grow on you over the course of an evening — No.24. They don't compete; they cover different occasions. Plenty of Solera buyers end up owning both.
No.18 and No.20 — briefly
The other two Solera fragrances are easier to summarise because they have more familiar shapes.
No.18 For Men is the fresh-citrus-woody men's daily driver — mint, green apple and lemon up top, tonka bean and geranium heart, vanilla and vetiver in the dry-down. If you've worn Bleu de Chanel or Acqua di Giò and wanted something with similar energy at a quarter of the price, this is the closest match in the Solera lineup. Best for office, daytime, summer.
No.20 Unisex is the bold one — orange and grapefruit opening with pepper and pelargonium in the heart, settling into vetiver, cedar, patchouli and benzoin. Punchier and more distinctive than No.18. If you like fragrances that announce themselves a little, this is the pick.

FAQ — Solera perfumes
What is Solera perfume?
Solera is an Indian indie eau de parfum house with four signature fragrances: No.14 for women, No.18 for men, and No.20 + No.24 unisex. Each is a 100ml eau de parfum (the higher concentration tier, not eau de toilette), packaged in designer bottles, retailing at ₹2,096. Solera is exclusively available in India through select multi-brand retailers including Stylera at Aurum Square, Navi Mumbai.
Is Solera No.14 or No.24 better?
Neither is objectively better — they're built for different occasions. No.14 is a floral woody amber that works for daytime, office and bright settings. No.24 is a warm woody amber best suited to evening, dates and intimate settings. Buy No.14 if you mostly want compliments during the day; buy No.24 if you wear fragrance mainly for yourself.
How long does Solera perfume last?
All four Solera fragrances are eau de parfum concentration, which generally projects for 6–8 hours on skin and longer on fabric. No.14 lasts 6–8 hours; No.24 lasts 8–10 hours; No.18 and No.20 sit in the same 6–8 hour range.
Is Solera perfume worth it?
For ₹2,096 you get a 100ml eau de parfum with genuinely competitive fragrance notes — saffron, ambergris, ambroxan, oakmoss are all premium-tier raw materials. Compared to mass-market Indian perfume in the same price band (typically eau de toilette or even eau de cologne at higher prices), Solera offers significantly better value on a cost-per-wear basis.
Where can I buy Solera perfume in India?
Solera is available online at Stylera.co and in person at the Stylera flagship at Aurum Square, Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai. All four fragrances are in stock with free shipping across India.
Is Solera made in India?
Yes — Solera is an Indian indie fragrance brand, formulated and bottled in India using a combination of imported raw materials and locally-sourced botanicals.
Final thoughts
Solera is genuinely one of the best fragrance-value plays in the Indian market right now. Four scents, clean direction, premium concentration, designer presentation, and a price point that lets you actually buy more than one. For most fragrance buyers, the No.14 + No.24 combination covers nearly every occasion — day and night, work and weekend, summer and winter — for under ₹4,200 total.
