Kashaf Fragrance

Kashaf Fragrance is tucked away in House No. 215 over in Hajiganj. It’s an old neighborhood and our building has been around for a long time. When you walk inside, the first thing you notice is the smell, obviously. It’s a mix of a hundred different oils and essences all at once. Some people find it a bit strong, but we love it. We spend our hours measuring out liquids into small glass bottles. It’s slow work because if you spill even a little bit, it makes a huge mess and wastes the product. We don’t have a big storefront on a main street. Most of our work happens right here in the house. We have rows and rows of little jars on the wooden shelves. Some are scents that people have liked for years, and others are just things we are trying out. It gets pretty cramped when we have a big order to fill, with boxes stacked up in the hallway. We don't use fancy machines for most of it; we still do a lot by hand because that’s how we learned. The neighbors know us by the scent that drifts out the window on breezy days. It’s a quiet life for the most part, just mixing and bottling and talking to the people who come by looking for something specific. We don't bother with much marketing. If the product is good, people find out about it eventually.
