Syed's story
My name is Syed. I hold a Master’s Degree in Organic Chemistry, with eight years of experience in research and development. Throughout my career, my deepest conviction has always been that research should not only be for personal advancement but should serve the community, bringing happiness and joy. I wanted my work to touch lives, to create something that could make people smile, and to leave behind a mark that wasn’t just written on paper but experienced by others.
In my previous job, I poured my heart into research—exciting, groundbreaking work. But it was always under the company’s name, not mine. I couldn’t claim the fruits of my labor. I yearned for more, a way to build something of my own, something that could stand as a testament to my passion and dedication. And so, after much thought, I made the bold decision to leave my job and pursue a dream.
I transformed my basement into a perfume laboratory, filled with supplies, bottles, and essential oils. The air was thick with creativity and ambition. For the past two years, I have been immersed in my research, experimenting with fragrance formulas—both perfume and cologne. My goal was simple yet profound: to create high-quality fragrances at an affordable price. After many trials and adjustments, I succeeded.
Today, I have created 23 unique fragrances—each one a carefully crafted blend, a piece of my journey. These perfumes are for both men and women, offering scents that evoke beauty, elegance, and joy. It is my way of giving back to the world, a little vial of happiness that I can share with others. This is my legacy—born of research, passion, and the desire to bring joy through fragrance.
