and Musk
Indian culture in all its richness and variety,
has a long tradition of passing down wisdom in a non-verbal way
and the symbols used to convey very powerful messages have a history
which is often thousands of years old. Such lovely fragrances as
champa, khus, keora, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, agarwood, and night
queen all derived from plants grown in India since ancient times
have been used in the manufacture of hair oils, skin products, incense
and indigenous Indian perfumes called attars.
Flowers and fragrance play a significant
roll in the religious and spiritual lives of the people as they
are seen as symbols of purity, sanctity, and devotion.
