The best places to shop in Lucknow
From exquisite chikankari work to attar, these labels in Lucknow are carrying Awadhi heritage into the new world
A family perfuming legacy that dates back to 1850, Sugandhco offers a wide collection of fragrances for both personal use and for the home. Among their signature creations is Azeemah, a perfume for men, built around an intriguing mix of citrus, woody and oriental notes. For women, Hayaa remains a timeless favourite, a soft and elegant citrus-floral composition featuring rose and bergamot, resting on a base of white musk. Their flagship Hazratganj store runs under the guidance of Vinod Vijayvergiya, a fifth-generation perfumer from the family. “The Vijayvergiya family migrated from Rajasthan to Awadh to serve the Nawabs in this rich tradition. After the fall of the Nawabi rule, our founder, Mr. Chhunnamal Vijayvergiya, established a perfumery business that would bring fine fragrances to the wider public,” shares Vishwas Vijayvergiya, a sixth-generation Sugandhco perfumer. The brand also retails globally through Scentkart, their digital platform. Scentkart, Instagram
