Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh · Est. 1931

Light, distilled into oil.

Alcohol-free attars, hydro-distilled over pure sandalwood in copper degs — the way Kannauj has perfumed emperors, poets and pilgrims for four hundred years. One drop lasts from Fajr to midnight.

Noor — Attar No. 01 · Rose, Saffron & Oud

Top note · 01

Gulab — dawn rose

Damask roses picked before sunrise in Hasayan, when the dew still holds their oil. Two hundred kilograms of petals surrender a single tola of rooh gulab — bright, dewy, almost drinkable.

Heart note · 02

Kesar — Kashmiri saffron

Hand-plucked stigmas from Pampore, steeped whole into the deg. Kesar warms the rose the way late-afternoon light warms a courtyard — honeyed, leathery, faintly medicinal in the old, beautiful way.

Base note · 03

Oud — Assam agarwood

Wild-harvested agarwood from the hills of Hojai, aged seven years before it meets fire. The dry-down is where Noor lives longest on skin — smoked amber, worn leather, temple wood after rain.

Word of mouth

Sillage travels farther than ads.

★★★★★

"I wore Kesar Oud to my sister's nikah in Lucknow. Three people stopped me to ask what it was — including the qazi. One drop at 8am, still glowing at midnight."

"Mitti is genuinely the smell of first rain on hot earth. My mother cried when she smelled it — said it was the courtyard of her childhood home in Farrukhabad."

★★★★★

"I've bought attars from Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road for twenty years. Noor's Gulab is the first that smells like the flower and not the factory. Worth every rupee."
