In 1928, Louis Boucheron was commissioned to take the crown jewels and fashion them into a "nauratan" - a bracelet set with a constellation of nine precious stones corresponding to the planets. These bracelets were once traditionally given as good luck amulets to young Rajasthani brides.

To house the exotic Jaipur scent, the house of Boucheron, inspired by the elegant curves of the Nauratan bracelet, fashioned a gilded crystal flacon with a faux sapphire cabochon serving as the stopper. The exceptional design won the "Women's Best Packaging of the Year - Prestige" FiFi Award at the 1995 Fragrance Foundation Annual Award.
