Our Perfume
There is no substitute for quality ingredients. It’s our goal for all perfumes to be made from the highest quality ingredients that are ethically sourced. Our directors personally travel around the world to find and select the finest ingredients whether it comes from the depths of tropical Indian jungles or the desert plains of Salalah. Once the ingredients arrive at our perfumery, our perfumers gently work with the ingredients to bring out the balance and nuance of it.
The Name
Al Haramain Perfumes is named after two holiest mosques in the world – the Masjid Al-Haram and the Masjid Al-Nabawi in Medina. The name directly translates to the 2 mosques. Our logo is a representation of the Maqam Ibrahim which is right next to the Kaaba in Masjid Al-Haram.
Our Heritage
Al Haramain Perfumes was founded in 1970 with a vision to share great perfumes and make a positive impact globally. Inspired by the aroma of Oudh in Makkah, the founder, Kazi Abdul Haque, started a perfume trading business with a few stores in Makkah and Madinah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The name Al Haramain, derived from the holy mosques in those cities, symbolizes the purity and sanctity of the Islamic tradition. Years later, Kazi Abdul Haque’s son, Mohammed Mahtabur Rahman (Nasir), developed a passion for perfumeries during a visit to distilleries in Ta’if. He aimed to bring the rich and best perfume tradition to the world. Al Haramain has always aimed to be a unique company that not only appreciates the art of perfume but also uplifts the human spirit.
