pefume and essential oils - from the bazaar

In the old centre of Hyderabad, near the Char Minar, is this shop - Nizam Attar - which means, 'perfume of the Nizam'. This family have been supplying perfume to the rulers of Hyderabad for more than 500 years. From tiny premises, which open directly onto a very busy street, they offer the most compelling concotions. Amazing!
