Agra
Experience Kannauj the perfume capital from Agra in Private Car
Description
There is a fragrance called mitti attar — the essence of baked earth after the first rain — distilled in Kannauj for centuries and unreplicable anywhere else.
Kannauj has been India's perfume capital for over a thousand years, its attar makers using the same copper still technique that Mughal court perfumers used in the 16th century. This tour takes you inside a family run perfumery to watch live attar distillation — rose petals loaded into copper stills, sandalwood oil collecting drop by drop, the air thick with layered fragrance.
Rose attar takes 15 days of continuous distillation to produce a small quantity of oil. That is why perfumers in Paris pay what they pay for it.
The tour ends with lunch in the royal palace of the family who owns the perfumery.
Private car from Agra, expert guide and traditional palace lunch included.

Entra in una profumeria a conduzione familiare reale dove i grappoli di rame (alambicchi) fanno cuocere delicatamente petali, spezie ed erbe. Osserva da vicino il processo di idrodistillazione, dai petali di rosa freschi caricati negli alambicchi alla lenta estrazione dell'attar. Scopri fragranze uniche come mitti attar (essenza della terra cotta dopo la pioggia), rosa, kewra, vetiver e hina.
