RUH KANNAUJ
“The soul of Indian perfumery, bottled with reverence.”
Crafted in the ancient perfume capital of India — Kannauj, where scent is both a legacy and a language — Ruh Kannauj is a timeless attar-inspired extrait, steeped in tradition and complexity.
Using hydro-distilled essential oils extracted in the age-old deg-bhapka method, this composition opens with the grounding earthiness of vetiver and nagarmotha, both revered for their cooling and meditative qualities. The heart blooms with Gulab (Indian rose) and jasmine, lending elegance and emotive warmth, while the presence of mehendi leaf and Shamama attar — a rare blend of spices, herbs, and resins — infuses the fragrance with soulful depth and cultural gravitas.
This is not just a scent — it is a ruḥ (soul). A meditative journey through Kannauj’s distilleries, temple gardens, and monsoon-washed soils. Mysterious, potent, and unapologetically rooted in the land that gave birth to perfumery in the East.

SCENT STORY
SCENT STORY
In the historic town of Kannauj, perfumery isn’t just craft — it’s legacy. Ruh Kannauj is a fragrant homage to this sacred tradition, composed using the deg-bhapka hydro-distillation method that has endured for centuries. It begins with the earthy coolness of vetiver and nagarmotha, easing into a blooming heart of Gulab and jasmine, enriched by the subtle green inkiness of mehendi leaves. At its base lies the ancient mystery of Shamama attar, a secretive melange of herbs, spices, and resins. This is a scent that whispers of temple rituals, monsoon-soaked soil, and timeless devotion — a true ruḥ in a bottle.
