As the evening unfolds in the heart of Lucknow, the air at Universal Booksellers, Hazratganj is filled with an elegant blend of fragrance, art, and cultural dialogue. The ongoing event, “Let’s Talk Fragrance,” has gathered perfume enthusiasts, cultural patrons, and special guests from France, making it a truly international affair celebrating the timeless art of scent.
The event stands as a bridge between India and France — two countries deeply rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and a shared love for fragrance.
A Meeting of Minds and Scents
Starting at 6 PM, the evening has brought together distinguished speakers and fragrance lovers who are sharing their perspectives on how scent influences lifestyle, memory, and identity.
The French guests are offering an insider’s view of the evolution of perfumery — from traditional techniques in Grasse to the modern fragrance houses that define luxury today. In parallel, Indian participants are shedding light on the enduring legacy of attars — the soulful, natural perfumes that have been part of Lucknow’s cultural identity for centuries.
The discussion beautifully reflects how fragrance, though invisible, carries emotion, history, and artistry that connects people across borders.
Universal Booksellers – A Cultural Landmark
Universal Booksellers, located at 82 Hazratganj, has provided a fitting venue for this cultural gathering. Known for its heritage and intellectual atmosphere, the store’s serene setting and old-world charm perfectly complement the evening’s refined theme.
A heartfelt acknowledgment goes to Mr. Raghav Prakash of Universal Booksellers, whose continuous encouragement for literary and cultural events in Lucknow has made this evening possible. His contribution stands as a reminder that meaningful spaces nurture meaningful conversations.
A Fragrant Exchange of Cultures
Even as discussions continue, one can sense that “Let’s Talk Fragrance” is more than an event — it is an experience. It celebrates art, dialogue, and the invisible beauty of fragrance that brings people closer. The presence of the French guests adds a global dimension, while the local participation keeps the spirit of Lucknow alive — warm, welcoming, and full of charm.
This evening marks yet another chapter in the city’s cultural calendar, where heritage meets modern thought and the exchange of ideas leaves behind an aroma that will linger long after the event concludes.
