India has a rich culture of producing fragrances and aromatics using materials obtained from nature. Aromatic flowers such as rose, jasmine, marigold and henna are known for their ‘sugandh’ and are most commonly translated into scented candles, colognes, perfumes and agarbattis. Barks of certain plants are also utilised to extract scented liquids like oud, herbs and spices. In Gujarat, sandalwood is a common fragrance that gets translated to many such products.
