Carefully prepared pieces of baked clay are distilled with water, allowing the warm, mineral-rich aroma of wet Mitti to slowly release and blend with pure sandalwood oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rare fragrance is rooted in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, the historic perfume capital of India, where generations of artisans have preserved the art of natural Itr making. The clay is prepared to echo the scent of sun-baked earth meeting monsoon rain, a memory both familiar and timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce distilled, the Itr is stored in thick glass bottles for a short time, allowing the fragrance to settle, soften, and mature. The result is a quiet, earthy perfume, nostalgic, grounding, and beautifully Indian in spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKannauj\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFor more than 400 years, the Indian city of Kannauj, once known as classical Kanyakubja, has been home to expert craftsmen who have preserved the delicate art of distilling exotic, oil-based fragrances known as Itr in Kannauj and, more widely, as Attar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften called the perfume capital of India, Kannauj remains a living centre of this ancient craft, where copper degs, wood-fired stills, patience, and inherited skill continue to shape each fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe romance of these lingering, potent scents began in ancient India and reached its height during the Mughal period. Even today, Kannauj’s Itrs travel beyond India, drawing fragrance lovers from across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bottle is a small vessel of memory, craft, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfume Capital\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKannauj, the little-known perfume capital of India, is home to more than 200 distilleries, many of them run by families who have preserved this craft for generations. Its coveted oils travel far beyond India, reaching perfume houses across America, Europe, and the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe process of extracting essential oils from natural materials is slow, exacting, and deeply skilled. A typical day for a craftsperson in a Kannauj perfumery is spent beside wood-fired stills, tending to copper degs, stirring, distilling, testing, and waiting for nature to reveal its essence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this world, perfume is not merely made. It is coaxed, watched over, and patiently brought to life. Each drop carries the labour of many hands, the wisdom of tradition, and the quiet pride of a craft that has endured for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Keep the lid closed at all times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Keep away from clothes as the natural itr can cause stains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Keep away from children.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Do not ingest and keep away from eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anand Prakash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48819912474841,"sku":"ITR2","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/6371\/0103\/files\/057A8041.jpg?v=1782794462","url":"https:\/\/anandprakash.com\/products\/itr-mitti","provider":"Anand Prakash","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
