On the last day of the trip, we will be in a hotel closer to the airport to make it easier for those flying out early
Roseate House
A 5-star luxury hotel near the airport, Roseate House offers contemporary design, spacious rooms, and world-class amenities. With multiple dining options and a spa, it’s perfect for a comfortable and stylish stay.
Your Stay: 1 Night, Half Board (Dinner, Bed, and Breakfast)
4 nights: Your adventure begins in Delhi, India’s bustling capital, where history and modernity blend seamlessly.
India’s capital doesn’t ease you in gently, and that’s part of its appeal. Four nights here means enough time to go beyond the obvious. An aromatherapy workshop with Dr Blossom Kochhar, one of India’s most respected voices in the field. A sensory food trail through the 500-year-old lanes of Old Delhi, including a stop at a shop that has been selling attars since 1816. Dinner on the first evening is at Haveli Dharampura, a UNESCO-awarded heritage mansion in the heart of Old Delhi, where the food is as considered as the setting. And a day with celebrated food writer Anubhuti Krishna, who shows the city the way a local would. The group stays at The Imperial, a landmark hotel with exceptional spa facilities and gardens.

Kannauj

Anand Bhawan Palace Tirwa
3 nights, full board. Anand Bhawan Palace in Tirwa, Uttar Pradesh, offers a regal retreat steeped in heritage and charm. Guests can unwind in elegantly restored rooms featuring modern amenities and cosy sitting corners. The palace boasts lush green lawns, snooker tables, and inviting spaces for tea and conversation. Visitors may enjoy leisurely strolls around the estate, evening barbecues, and moments of quiet reflection amidst its tranquil surroundings.
3 nights. Kannauj has been producing attar for over 400 years. It’s known as the Perfume Capital of India, and once you’re here, that title makes complete sense.
The programme begins on arrival evening with a dhoop-making workshop led by local village women, an introduction to one of India’s oldest incense traditions, still practised and passed down today. A full day follows with Pranav Kapoor, an eighth-generation perfumer, through rose fields, copper-still distilleries, and the market lanes where the craft stays alive. There’s also a visit to one of India’s few authorised sandalwood distilleries, preceded by a morning yoga session at the palace — a quiet start before an experience that asks for full attention. Accommodation is at Anand Bhawana Palace, a heritage property where guests are welcomed by the family themselves and every meal comes from the land around it.

Agra

Trident Agra
A 5-star luxury hotel near the Taj Mahal, Trident Agra combines Mughal-inspired architecture with modern comforts. Enjoy serene garden views, yoga sessions, and warm hospitality.
Your Stay: 1 Night, Half Board (Dinner, Bed, and Breakfast)
1 night. No trip to India is complete without a visit to the iconic Taj Mahal.
A short stay, but one of the most memorable. The Taj Mahal at dawn, before the crowds arrive. Then a Mughal-inspired perfume workshop with perfumer Neha Vij, exploring the role of fragrance in Mughal culture and history. Agra’s contribution to the journey is precise and purposeful — the architecture, the history, and the scent all belong together here.

Jaipur

Royal Heritage Haveli
3 nights, half board. Welcoming guests to a bygone era of luxury and heritage, Royal Heritage Haveli is housed in a meticulously restored 18th-century mansion in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Guests can savour creative Indian and light continental fare on-site. Royal Heritage Haveli also features a spa and a swimming pool.
3 nights. Jaipur, the vibrant Pink City, known for its royal heritage and colourful markets.
The trip closes in Jaipur, and the city earns its place as the final chapter. A dawn visit to flower markets by women-driven e-rickshaw. The City Palace. And Holi, experienced with locals in the city streets. The group stays at a former royal hunting lodge with an Ayurvedic spa, and each guest begins with a complimentary consultation with the resident doctor. On the final evening, Yasmine leads the closing perfume workshop — a private session where all the oils and attars encountered across the journey are blended into a personal fragrance to take home.
