Fragrances carry us through time. Its power lies in its innate ability to transport us to familiar places like childhood summers—ripe with the smell of mangoes—or unfamiliar places like a Nawab’s palace— where the smell of aromatic flowers from a royal garden wafts in. Art and fragrance produce similar effects and have been ancient collaborators. Marg’s latest volume explores the histories of perfumes in India, the people who make them, its use in traditional medicine, the genealogy of its recipes, its visual representation through Indian art history, and more.
