Our Journey

Devi Prasad Dubey establishes the business in Kannauj, India’s fragrance capital, laying the foundations of a family-led fragrance house. Early clients include officials of the British Empire.

We relocate to Calcutta, expanding our capabilities in natural distillation, fragrance compounding and international trade. Our sandalwood oil business grows to become one of India’s largest exporters to the United States.

We move to Hyderabad, a major centre for sandalwood procurement. Closer to the source, we strengthen our operations and establish ourselves as one of India’s largest sandalwood businesses.

Building on decades of expertise in natural ingredients, we make fragrance creation the central focus of our business. This strategic evolution sets the foundation for a new chapter of growth.

We emerge as one of India’s leading fragrance houses, combining creative expertise with manufacturing scale. Strong customer partnerships and a deep understanding of the Indian market establish our position as a trusted industry partner.

We expand into France, establishing Only Fragrances in partnership with a senior French perfumer. Dedicated to fine fragrance, the company brings French creative expertise into our business, connecting our Indian heritage with an international perfumery perspective.

We develop our Hyderabad fine-fragrance facility, bringing French-inspired working practices together with Indian manufacturing strength. The facility marks a new chapter in our ability to create, develop and produce fragrances for international markets.

We create fine fragrances for brands across the globe, uniting Indian heritage, French expertise and modern manufacturing. Still led by our founding family, we continue to grow through innovation, quality and enduring partnerships.
