Nilgiri Mist

Nilgiri Mist began with one such memory.
Years ago, on a journey through the mist-covered hills of the Nilgiris, our founder, Manisha Mayank, wandered into the home of an elderly attar artisan.
There were no signboards.
No grand displays.
No promises of luxury.
Only quiet shelves of hand-blown glass, weathered wood, copper stills and precious oils patiently distilled using methods passed from one generation to the next.
Among them was one fragrance unlike anything she had encountered before.
It seemed to hold within it the cool breath of the mountains, the warmth of ancient forests, wild blossoms beneath the morning dew and the extraordinary stillness of a place where nature had never been hurried.
She carried that little bottle home.
Over the years, she reached for it only on the days that mattered.
Slowly, the fragrance disappeared.
Eventually, the bottle emptied.
But the memory never did.
