Well, don’t worry even if you haven’t. We've listed some of our favourite stores in Delhi for the sweetest-smelling ittar options.
Located near Jama Masjid in Bazar Chitli Qabar, this place is worth trying out. Offering a wide range, they have everything from sweet, floral to strong musk and the best part is, they are decently priced with INR 100 as their starting range. Also, trust us when we say that they do last really long.
Also located near Jama Masjid, this store has a lot to offer. The starting price for their ittar options is INR 199 and they stock distinctive fragrances. The only drawback is that they do not customise but we guess, it's fine as long as you are satisfied with what they have to offer.
Located in Basti Hazrat Nizamuddin, this place is best if you are looking to buy fragrances on wooden or citrusy notes (although, they do have a lot of other notes as well, but these ones are generally the favourites). Also, these are priced well at around INR 150 for 10ml.
Located in Chandni Chowk and Dariba Kalan, Gulab Singh Johrimal was established in 1816 and apart from ittar, they also sell agarbatties, essential oils, and soaps.

Try their Iceberg, Jannet-e-Firdaus, and Cool Water as these ones are some of their bestsellers. If you talk about price, you’ll have to shell out around INR 200 for 10 ml bottle.
It’s an online shop that is basically famous for ittar, but they also stock up clothing and accessories. Their ittars start at INR 79 and right now, there is a discount going on, so you’ll get stuff for much less. So, add to your shopping cart already?
