From Kannauj’s ancient perfume traditions to the timeless elegance of Anand Bhavan Palace.
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful group of guests from Australia, along with a guest from Ireland, for an immersive journey into the world of Indian perfumery.
Their experience began in Kannauj, where they discovered the centuries-old art of traditional perfume making — witnessing how flowers, woods, spices and precious botanicals are transformed into exquisite ittars, using techniques passed down through generations.
The journey continued at Anand Bhavan Palace, where the world of fragrance met royal heritage. Our guests explored and sampled an evocative collection of traditional ittars, alongside contemporary perfumes, experiencing the fascinating contrast between the perfumes of the past and the fragrances of today.
It was more than a perfume tour.
It was a journey through craft, culture, history and the senses — connecting our guests with a living tradition that continues to thrive in Kannauj.
From the hands of the traditional perfumer to the halls of a 100-year-old palace — this is the story of fragrance, the Kannauj way.
