Cleopatra Flavours & Fragrances

Our office is over in Anand Vihar, Pitampura, specifically at number 28. Cleopatra Flavours & Fragrances is a bit different from the other shops around here because of the way it smells. Depending on what we are working on that day, it might smell like lemons or maybe something sweet like vanilla. We deal with various extracts and scents that go into different products. It’s mostly bottles and small vials all over the desks. It's a bit of a quiet operation, really. We spend a lot of time mixing things and testing how they turn out. It isn't as glamorous as it sounds; there's a lot of washing up and keeping everything very clean so the smells don't get mixed up. People who visit often sneeze when they first walk in, but we’ve grown used to it over the years. We aren't a big factory or anything, just this small office where we figure out the right combinations. The paperwork takes up a lot of time too, keeping track of all the ingredients we get from different places. We've been in this part of Pitampura for a while now, and the neighbors probably know us by the scent coming through the door. It’s just us here, trying to get the right balance for whatever project is on the table that week. It’s a bit of a strange way to make a living, but we enjoy the change from day to day.
