Ajanta Perfumery

You can find Ajanta Perfumery at 197 Express Road. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the mix of scents that just hangs in the air. It is a very specific smell that sticks to your clothes even after you leave. We have been sitting behind these glass counters for a long time, watching the traffic go by on Express Road. It is one of those busy streets where no one seems to slow down, but people still manage to pop in when they need a bottle of something. Our shelves are lined with all kinds of small glass vials and larger containers. We spend a lot of time pouring liquids from one bottle to another and making sure the labels are stuck on straight. The floor is old tile and it has seen better days, but it does the job. We don't really do much advertising or anything like that. Most people know we are here just by walking past and catching the scent. It gets a bit dark in the back of the shop, so we mostly stay up front where the light comes in from the door. Sometimes we just sit and talk to the neighbors when it is slow. It is a quiet kind of business despite being on such a loud road. We just keep our heads down and work with our oils and perfumes every day like we always have.
