Scents of the Taj: A Mughal-Inspired Perfume Journey

This one-of-a-kind, sensory-rich experience invites international travellers to explore the Taj Mahal not just through its architecture and history, but through the world of scent. Inspired by the Mughal court's love for luxury and nature, this workshop blends cultural storytelling with the art of perfumery. Guests are guided to notice the subtle sensory elements of their Taj Mahal visit: floral gardens, cool marble underfoot, the breeze off the Yamuna and transform these impressions into a personalised fragrance they can take home. Hosted by expert perfumer Neha Vij, this immersive session connects the elegance of the past with the creativity of the present.

  • A unique, sensory way to explore the Taj Mahal
  • Guided by a professional perfumer with deep cultural insight
  • Learn about Mughal history through the lens of fragrance
  • Interactive sniffing session with rare, natural ingredients
  • Design and blend your own custom perfume
  • Personal storytelling and creative expression
  • A luxurious yet intimate cultural souvenir
  • Connect deeper with Indian heritage through scent
  • Take home a piece of your journey, bottled and beautiful

Step into a serene, Mughal-inspired setting near the Taj Mahal and begin your journey through scent. As you're introduced to the opulent fragrance traditions of the Mughal court, you'll inhale the raw beauty of rose, oud, jasmine, saffron, and sandalwood. These ingredients were once used in royal rituals, textiles, and gardens.

With expert perfumer Neha Vij guiding you, explore a curated palette of traditional attars and essential oils. Let your walk through the Taj, with its marbled corridors, fragrant gardens, and breezy courtyards, inspire your choices as you blend your own signature scent.

Bottle your custom 10ml perfume, give it a name, and label it with a personal story. End with a warm reflection circle, sharing the memories and emotions behind your creation. You'll leave not just with a fragrance but with a scented memory of India that lingers long after your visit.
