A Century of Authentic Fragrance: The Heritage of Puja Perfumery

Welcome to Puja Perfumery, a proud 4th-generation fragrance house rooted in the heart of Kannauj—the renowned Perfume Capital of India. Since 1925, we have dedicated ourselves to the ancient and timeless art of crafting authentic natural attars and pure essential oils.

With nearly a century of tradition distilled into every bottle, we invite you to experience the true essence of India’s most celebrated perfume-making region.

Our Four-Generation Legacy

Our family’s journey in perfumery is a story of passion, preservation, and passing down sacred knowledge from one generation to the next:

  • The Foundation: In 1925, the late Lala Banwari Lal Mehrotra laid the cornerstone of our tradition, dedicating his life to the authentic extraction of natural fragrances.
  • The Preservation: His son, the late Lala Jugal Kishore Mehrotra, inherited this passion, preserving and meticulously refining the ancient art of perfume distillation.
  • The Global Expansion: Under the visionary leadership of the third generation, Shri Govind Kumar Mehrotra (Owner of Puja Perfumery), the business expanded its horizons, introducing our cherished aromas to customers across India and around the globe.
  • The Present Day: Today, the fourth generation—Prabhat Mehrotra and Gaurav Mehrotra—proudly carries this heritage forward. Backed by over 125 years of combined family experience, they maintain an uncompromising commitment to purity, quality, and craftsmanship.

The Art of the Craft: Deg Bhapka Distillation

We believe that true fragrance cannot be rushed. Our attars and essential oils are entirely handcrafted utilizing the traditional Deg-Bhapka distillation process.

This centuries-old, artisanal method allows us to capture the unadulterated, natural essence of fresh flowers, herbs, precious woods, and rich spices. The result is a collection of exceptionally rich, authentic, and long-lasting fragrances that modern machinery simply cannot replicate.

Our Craft & Tradition

We continue to preserve the ancient deg-bhapka hydro-distillation method, where natural botanicals are slowly distilled in copper vessels to capture their true aroma. This traditional process ensures:

  • 100% alcohol-free attars
  • No synthetic additives
  • Long-lasting, skin-friendly fragrances
  • True natural scent profiles

The Heritage of Kannauj

Known as the “Perfume Capital of India” or the “Grasse of the East,” Kannauj has been the heart of Indian perfumery for over 1,000 years. The city is globally admired for its natural attars derived from flowers, woods, herbs, and resins.

What Makes Kannauj Attars Special

  • Natural ingredients like rose, jasmine, sandalwood, saffron, vetiver, mitti, agarwood
  • Handmade, slow distillation process
  • Chemical-free and non-allergenic formulations
  • Deep, rich, and long-lasting aroma

The Deg-Bhapka Distillation Process

  1. Fresh flowers, herbs, or bark are placed in copper vessels (degs)
  2. Steam gently extracts the natural aroma
  3. Vapours condense into sandalwood oil
  4. The result is a pure, traditional attar

This slow artisanal process creates fragrances unmatched by modern synthetic perfumes.

  • Kesar Attar – warm, spicy saffron notes
  • Gulab Attar – distilled from fresh damask roses
