  • The Perfume That Harnesses the Monsoon
    The perfume that harnesses the monsoon Years ago, an Indian acquaintance told me of a particularly special perfume, one that is a distillation of the first rains of the monsoon. Iʼd long wanted to find it ​– but with the modern proliferation of synthetic-based scents, traditional attars, or oil-based perfumes, are increasingly hard to source. Gulab Singh Johrimal in Old Delhi, I was told, is likely to have it. Gulab Singh Johrimal has been dispensing attars for more than 200 years. Soon after rolling up the shutters in the morning, the perfumery attracts a steady stream of visitors of all stripes, from well-dressed women with cut- glass accents to teenage suitors buying a scent for their paramour. All know Gulab Singh Johrimal as the house of sublime scents. Gulab Singh Johrimal has been selling attars in Old Delhi for more than 200 years (Credit: Peter Lopeman/Alamy) Dariba Kalan, the bustling, narrow street that is home to the perfumery, is just off Chandhi Chowk, Old Delhiʼs main thoroughfare. The old city, first built in 1659, is the walled former capital of the erstwhile Mughal Empire, and Chandni Chowk was once a wide and graceful boulevard bisected by a canal and dotted with intricate buildings. But now, its former beauty has been swallowed up by the masses. When I arrived at Gulab Singh Johrimal at 10 am, the street was teeming with cars, buses and rickshaws, humans, horses and the occasional goat also trying to carve out space. The shop was barely distinguishable from the outside. Its interior was unadorned and functional – a handful of men sat behind a counter, waiting on customers.
