Kannauj essential oils carry a legacy unlike anywhere else in the world. Known as the “Kannauj” or the perfume capital of India, this small city in Uttar Pradesh has distilled ruh khus, hina, kewra and rose since the Mughal era. Even today, artisans capture the first monsoon rain as mitti attar — the scent of wet earth.
Why origin matters
The soil, climate and centuries-old distilling knowledge of Kannauj cannot be replicated. Wild vetiver grown in this region yields ruh khusof a depth and coolness prized by perfumers worldwide. Kama Ayurveda and other luxury brands reference “the roses of Kannauj” — we distil at the source.
A living craft
While most suppliers buy and re-bottle, our family still operates copper degs within Kannauj. This is not nostalgia — it is quality control. Distilling ourselves means we control the botanical, the heat, the timing and the testing of every batch.
From Kannauj to 18 countries
Today our Kannauj oils reach perfumers in Europe, agarbatti and cosmetic manufacturers across India, and wellness buyers in every metro. The thread connecting them is trust — and a batch code that proves it.
