Indian Rose (Gupta Ka Gulab)

Description

Indian Rose, also known as Gupta Ka Gulab, is a timeless expression of classic Indian perfumery. This fragrance captures the rich, deep, and slightly honeyed aroma of traditional Indian roses, offering a more intense and mature profile compared to lighter floral scents.

Origin & Region

This fragrance originates from Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh (India) — widely known as the Perfume Capital of India. The roses used in this attar are primarily cultivated in nearby regions like Aligarh and the Kannauj belt, where climate and soil produce highly aromatic rose petals.

Manufacturing Style

Indian Rose attar is crafted using the traditional Deg & Bhapka hydro-distillation method, a centuries-old technique:

• Fresh rose petals are distilled in copper vessels (Deg)
  
• Vapors are condensed into a sandalwood oil base (Bhapka)
  
• This process enhances depth, warmth, and longevity

Fragrance Profile (Notes)

• Top Notes: Fresh, slightly citrusy rose opening
  
• Heart Notes: Rich, jammy, honeyed rose
  
• Base Notes: Soft woody and mildly earthy undertones (from sandalwood base)

Ingredients

• Natural Indian rose petals (Rosa Damascena / Desi Gulab)
  
• Pure sandalwood oil (base carrier)
  
• Trace natural floral compounds
  
• No synthetic enhancers

Projection

Moderate to strong projection — noticeable in close to medium range with a rich scent aura.

Longevity

• Skin: 8–12 hours
  
• Clothing: 24+ hours

Purity Level

This attar contains approximately 85–95% natural extract, depending on batch and distillation quality, making it highly authentic compared to commercial rose fragrances.

Why It’s Different from Regular Rose Fragrances

• Natural hydro-distillation vs synthetic blending
  
• Deeper, oil-based richness instead of light alcohol-based freshness
  
• Sandalwood infusion adds warmth and longevity
  
• More traditional, bold, and long-lasting compared to modern rose perfumes

Overall Experience

Indian Rose (Gupta Ka Gulab) delivers a royal, classic, and soulful rose scent — ideal for those who appreciate traditional attars with depth, richness, and cultural heritage.
