About us

The word ‘perfume’ comes from two Latin words per, meaning through’ and fume meaning ‘smoke. This suggests one early way of creating a sweet smell was by burning fragrant woods. Perfumes have certainly been used for thousands of years. Early perfumes were chiefly made of scented resins, balsams, leafs, spices and the woods of certain trees.

In the recent past, the perfumes were popularized during the reign of King Harshavardhan and later on, during the reign of the Mughal Emperors. The credit for patronizing and popularizing the perfumery in Lucknow goes to the Nawabs of Oudh, particularly to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. Fragrances have always been an important part of the cultural life of Oudh.

In the 1850s, the visionary Mr. Chhunnamal Vijayvergiya, while serving the Nawabs of Awadh, embarked on a mission to bring the art of perfumery to the masses. This noble initiative evolved into its modern form in 1980, with the birth of SUGANDHCO, a name now synonymous with luxury and excellence in fragrance. Our aim has always been to spread enchanting aromas far and wide.
