Culture & fragrance
A responsible account of craft, markets, daily life and the cultural context surrounding fragrance.
Fragrance as living culture
Kannauj's fragrance culture is expressed through practical skill, sensory vocabulary, material knowledge and relationships between workshops and markets. It is not limited to a museum object or a finished bottle.
Craft, community and continuity
Traditional knowledge is often learned by observation and repeated practice. Documentation should respect the people who hold that knowledge, identify contributors and avoid turning a living craft into an uncredited commercial claim.
