Good experience of small perfumery town - Kannauj was a fantastic experience of interior India. We had a nice car pick us from our hotel in Agra and we visited traditional perfume factories. It was amazing to see how old processes and tradeable techniques were still in use. This is a lovely tour for anyone coming to Agra and can be done after visiting the Taj.

Illuminating day in a perfumery - I was in Delhi for a conference. So decided to revisit the Taj over the weekend. And I found this amazing perfume capital located near Agra. 5 Senses Tours which had arranged my Taj trip organised this as well. This was a day well spent. We visited an old perfumery which has been managed by multiple generations of a family. We saw the traditional method of picking roses, extraction of essence, distillation etc. It was an illuminating day to say the keast. Very highly recommended as a day trip from Agra
