Meet Neha Vij, the expert guiding your unique Scent Memory perfume workshop during your visit to Agra, including your time at the Taj Mahal.

Neha brings over 10 years of experience as a Perfumer, Candle Designer, Aroma Psychologist, and Podcast Host, specialising in crafting fragrances that capture memory and emotion.

She holds an MBA and certification from Perfumers World, with training in London and Dubai, plus a certificate in Aroma Psychology from the Tisserand Institute, USA.

Neha’s passion for scent began in 2017. What started as curiosity soon became a deep commitment to understanding fragrance as a powerful tool for emotional well-being. Her technical skills were sharpened through a professional perfumery course in London in 2019.

She founded Auro Care India, a brand rooted in India’s healing traditions. Auro Care creates sustainable wellness products such as candles and oils, blending natural materials like vegetable and beeswax with expert fragrance design. All products are proudly made in India.

Neha views scent as more than aroma. It is a vessel for memory, culture, and emotional connection. Her study of Aroma Psychology, which she began in 2024, explores how fragrances can heal and influence our mental state.

She explains that our sense of smell links directly to the brain’s limbic system, which stores memories and emotions. This connection allows scent to trigger feelings of comfort and calm, a process known as neuro-associative conditioning. Simply put, certain smells can instantly bring back specific memories.

Through her work, Neha aims to bring joy, calm, and positivity into daily life. She believes in holistic wellness and the power of aromatherapy to support mental peace.

Neha’s creations draw from nature, art, and ancient traditions, connecting us to ourselves and others through scent.

She has worked with international brands and appeared in several publications. Now, as your workshop host for Yatlina’s ScentSational Travels: Aromatic India, she will guide you in exploring scent’s deep emotional ties. Together, you will create a personal fragrant memory of your visit.
