The scene
Overview
A perfumer on Dariba Kalan that has been blending natural attars since 1816, in the same family, in tiny cut-glass bottles. Sit at the counter and they will walk your nose through oudh, mitti (the smell of the first rain on earth, bottled), rose, and a dozen things you have no words for.
Ask specifically for 'gil' or 'mitti' attar - petrichor as a perfume. Smelling it for the first time reorganises something in your brain.
