Historically speaking, the distillation apparatus was perfected by Ibn Sina (Avicena) in 10th century Persia and Roses were one of the the first material ever distilled thereafter. It is not long after that, under the Mughal Empire, that the city of Kannauj, India was established as the first perfume capital of the world. Our Rose Mughal comes from some of the oldest Mughal Plantations of roses in North India, using a combination of sandalwood oil and locally harvested roses, distilled in the age old technique using copper degs and bamboo pipes sealed with clay and fired with wood, the result is the most beautiful and well balanced combination or Rose & Sandalwood. We truly believe that this is one of the oldest perfume formula in the world, unchanged for over 1000 years.
