Descripción completa

De dónde viene en realidad el perfume indio

Kannauj lleva destilando attar desde hace unos mil quinientos años. Está en la llanura del Ganges, a unos 250 km al este de Agra, y toda su economía se basa en convertir flores en aceite con un método que apenas ha cambiado desde los mogoles.

Es una excursión poco habitual, y la única de su tipo en esta ruta.

Deg-bhapka

La técnica es hidrodestilación en cobre. Las flores entran en un alambique de cobre, el deg, sobre un fuego de leña con agua. El vapor pasa por un tubo de bambú hasta un recipiente, el bhapka, que está en un baño de agua fría y ya contiene aceite de sándalo. La fragancia se condensa directamente en el aceite en lugar de en el agua.

Sin electricidad, sin termómetros. El destilador juzga el calor por el sonido del fuego y el tacto del cobre, y una sola tanda puede durar días.

El sándalo como base es la razón por la que los attars indios se comportan de forma distinta a los perfumes franceses: sin alcohol, así que nada se evapora de golpe, y el aroma se desarrolla sobre la piel durante horas.

Lo que se destila aquí

Rosa, jazmín, vetiver (khus), kewda de flores de pandano, azafrán, y el famoso, mitti attar, destilado a partir de tierra cocida, que huele exactamente a la primera lluvia sobre tierra seca. En ningún otro lugar del mundo se fabrica.

Los campos y el mercado

Según la temporada, verá los campos de flores recolectados al amanecer y el mercado mayorista donde se pesa y vende la cosecha del día. La rosa es primavera; el jazmín, verano; el kewda, monzón.

Su propia mezcla

Trabaja con un artesano para crear un attar a medida y se lo lleva a casa en un pequeño frasco de cristal.

Práctico

Un día largo, unas diez horas contando la carretera en cada sentido, en coche privado con aire acondicionado. La comida es local y está incluida.

Las destilerías son calurosas, humeantes y nada turísticas. Ese es el encanto; no espere un centro de visitantes.
