THE MYSORE AGARBATTI & PERFUMERY CO. Bangalore, Karnataka

The history of The Mysore Agarbatti & Perfumery Co., dates back to more than 100 years when manufacture of Agarbatti started in 1881 by our great grandfather late Attar Syed Omer Saheb. He was actually a dealer of Raw material, like Civet extracted from his Civet Cat Farm and Sandalwood Oil, Sandalwood Powder, (from the famous sandalwood forests of Mysore) Attars, Natural oils, etc.,supplying to the Priests of famous Temples of Tanjore and Madurai, and these Priests in turn would manufacture Dasangam from the above raw materials and he used to buy back the finished product of Dasangam and distribute it to Bangalore, Mysore and surroundings. This mixture of Dasangam was burnt on charcoal burner which used to give pleasant natural aroma making the atmosphere divine. Attar Syed Omer Saheb Later this Dasangam was made into a form of Incense Sticks (agarbatti) by our late Alhaj Attar Syed Omer Saheb, paving way to agarbatti (Incense sticks) His son late Alhaj Attar Syed Hussain started the Mysore Agarbatti Co., (also the founder President of Karnataka Agarbatti Manufacturers Society and he was also the President of All India Agarbatti Manufacturers Association) which had all the modern in house amenities like blending of Raw materials, (Herbs etc. etc.,) Grinding Mill, manual Bamboo Stick splitting, Printing Press etc. etc., he was famous for herbal Masala Batties and supplied them to the then Maharaja of Mysore, and to the Maharajas of North India which possessed great honour and fame to the company winning Gold and Silver Medals and Awards.
