In this guide I have listed the various perfumes produced by Mumtaz. 

Mumtaz was the marketing division of  the India Importing Co, and  launched fragrances in the 1930's. Most of the perfumes are in the solid form and iwll bein celluloid or bakelite containers, much akin to those manufactured for Molinard's Concreta. The Mumtaz ones are different from Molinard because they are small round disk shaped containers. See my guide on Molinard here

The originally Arabic (masculine) adjective, Mumtaz, means distinguished or excellent. Arabs do not use it as a common name. The term was later adopted by Urdu, Persian and Turkish.

• 1933 Devine Perfume
