The Princess of Jaipur!

Monday, May 21, 2012



Maharani Gayatri Devi, the princess of Jaipur, reportedly poured Shalimar perfume down the drains during her stay in a Delhi penitentiary in 1975.


Jailed for violating tax laws, the Maharani doused the pipes to relieve the jail of bad odours. 


The sweet scent was first created in 1921 by Guerlain in memory of another Indian princess, Mumtaz Mahal (for whom the Taj Mahal was erected).
