Circuit: Scents of Mayfair

Patchouli. Oud. Frankincense. Amber. Fordsburg and Mayfair hold some of Joburg’s best-kept olfactory secrets — and we’re going hunting.

Ishvara, aromatherapist and lifelong scent collector, guides us through the Somali perfume market (women-run), Eritrean coffee ceremonies, Turkish colognes, hand-rolled Indian incense, Islamic ittars, and how to spot real oil from fake.

Come curious. Leave able to smell the difference.

Optional lunch after, at a Turkish spot nearby.

Bring cash for shopping + your camera.

Ag shem, your nose has never had it this good.
