I'm a 5th generation Irish-American guy who is just learning about fragrances. As far as I'm concerned, this blows away the both the designer and niche fragrances. This is true art at its finest. I will most definitely be buying some attars in the near future. I can't believe that these aren't more popular (and expensive) than they are.
Hi Sir, My name is Zaeem Saw your passion for perfume and Indian fragrance as same as me I am facinated since childhood I also worked in small scale perfume Factory when I was in 7th standard also my childhood business was my perfume roadside shop along with my work I also completed my graduation in year 2013. Now after working as an employee for India Today and numerous other Companies I am returning back to my perfume passion I need your Dua. Will be pleased to meet you at least once.
Nikhil Bhai bohat shukria... Mehrbani, ubkaar . Am from Pakistan. Have been using using their mohsin, Ahsan, Malik, 960, 640, 320s shamamas for past so many years. Was wondering if ever in my life I could see the real power house. can't tell u what my feeling are by watching this particular video of yours. Have actually tears in my eyes. May God bless you. Please keep up the great service to this fading legacy...thank you again bhai.am obliged really:)
Abdul Jabbar Sahab Great to hear from you. I was about to ask Nikhil Sahab about finding it in Pakistan. May I know where to get Mohsin and Malik Shamamas in Pakistan? I am from Lahore and work in Saudia. Would be really grateful for your guidance.
ماشاءاللہ جزاك الله بہت خوب ۔ آپ بہترین انداز میں اپنے اجداد کے لگاۓ ہوۓ باغ کو آباد رکھے ہوۓ ہیں ۔ پاکستان میں بھی اچھے ذوق رکھنے والے ہیں ۔ اللہ تعالی آپ سب کو شاد و آباد رکھے آمین ۔
Another Classic with super content, clarity and communication, rare from India showcasing our people's value and worth, We need more of these....notes.....
Wonderful journey, Nikhil. Thank you for taking us through the process of shamama creation! I appreciate your efforts and your time. It must be an unique experience.
A unique and informative video Nikhil. As always excellent work. However i was wondering, do we have something similar to lime or lemon scents available in English perfumeries in our traditional attars. It would be excellent to use a traditional attars that has notes of Lemon, lime, sweet lime or other citrus notes.
I am pakistani , but we must support this hard working talent (people) from India , why we support the westen parfum industry but not our neabour ? For nothing .please buy from them because this tradition should not be forgotten 🙏
Thank you soooooo very much Nikil. You are really taking lots of effort and pain to make our country's youth aware of our legecy. Big shout out for your love, affection and passion to educate people like us. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. God Bless.
That was incredible! I loved it with all my heart!! Literally the womb of natural beauty in progress. The fellows were touched to be filmed too. Thank you both, so much 💗
Thank you very much Nikhil, for introducing me to the world of attars. You have started me on a journey of discovery and I appreciate that very much. My favorite of your videos are the one where you educate and inform. I like them much more than reviews. I also enfoy your reviews, but videos like this one are inspiring and always leave me wanting to try the perfumes you bring to us.
Oh thanks so much for this video. I have visited their store so often, it's a pleasure to see how these scents are made. Their Ruh khus and mitti ittars have seen me through many summers, Shamama was almost a signature scent if I went to a colder place. It gets too heady in the Bombay heat. Was wondering if you could explain what are the different types of shamama like, if mohsin is spicier than Malik shamama etc. Going to the store I try so many ittars that after a while I can't tell anything apart.
Like you, I love the scents of perfumes, by making ourself, Your videos are very good.Those like us who love PERFUMES and try to make it, are interested in watching more videos like this
No word to say sir ...... Tq 4 this ... love u sir ... Bhut videos hai RU-vid pe .. bt apke video ka wait hamesha raheta hai ... Jo soul happiness bolte hai vaisa suku milta hai..... Kuch bhi bolu kam hi rhenga ... Love u sir ...
I don't know much about perfumes. Always bought garden variety perfumes, few weeks ago just stumbled upon your channel and it is been pure gold. The most brilliant thing is these Indiana Jones like series , the things which are famous in whole world are not known to our own people, so kudos to you sir for bring these treasures troves and hats off to these brilliant craftsmen. Also sir could you please make top 10 countdown videos for attars and video regarding famous attar's in india, their origin, history and season to wear.
Amazing job Nikhil bhai. I still don't understand what shamama is made of or how it smells. Can you suggest a good and affordable shamama that can be bought online if you know any?
Sir i purchased mohsin shamama from a shop in Karachi, it says the brand is Ayub Yaqub. It's fragnance is very different, one i never experienced before. Fragrance of different spices could also be felt. But please confirm, if you have used Mohsin Shamama, that does it's base contain Sandal as after sometime i feel the most prominent smell is sandal in Mohsin Shamama.
Thank you for sharing this incredible material. I can't wait to experience some of the real thing one of these days. They don't seem to be common in Canada!
Reference: 25:54 . This is sooo true! I hate spray perfumes, because they are a ripoff. People don't have the patience to enjoy real perfumes, because they DON'T KNOW about real perfumes; so I am very happy that you have produced such informative videos.
Can anyone please tell me the difference among Super Malik Shamama, Malik Shamama and Mohsin Shamama? I missed that explanation during Nikhil's Hindi live video. Thanks :)
Wow nikhil... Your passion is unparallel... Fantastic video. I have never tried attar. But after this video, I will definitely give it a shot. You have taken so much pain in traveling and documenting each and every step. Kudos mate
Speechless nikhil bhai....such an awesome video and the way you lead us through the best place for a perfume collector is truly appreciable! Hands down this one is my favourite video from the channel.
Hello! It’s very informative and interesting piece of work. Congratulations! Could you please let me know the address and location of the S. Md. Ayub Md. Yaqub (Perfumers) Pvt. Ltd. I am keen to visit it.
Great video Nikhil . the experience of watching this was priceless as a perfume lover.. i literally hallucinated the fragrance of shamama while watching this video.. KEEP GOING BRO.. U have the potential to become fragrantica of youtube perfume channels..
I got to know about your channels recently had been watching reviews of joy amin, jeremy, babbs, redolescne u opened a complete different world of indian perfumes to me. Thank you for making such an informative video about our heritage of indian perfumery and i really appreciate your efforts of passing all the knowledge of perfume to us. I find the audio level in this video low plz increase it a little Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Nikhilbhai really what an effort it really needs a salute.Very nice informative video.You have covered each & every nuances the art.Hatsoff & Thanks that through you we are getting to explore this side of perfume making 👌👌👌👌👌
Nikhil please give indication of Price of 10 ml..Mohsin Shamama and Malik Shamama..the mystery of product pricing is killing..also where to order for original in qty of 10ml or 30 ml....
What a fantastic video Sir. I salute you! I will tell you, finding these beautiful attars will be very difficult here in the US. I am completely entranced after this and some of your other videos on attars. I will find them. Thank you.
I want to visit Kannuj for 3-4 days, enjoy all original ittar places, buy real products. Hopefully after lockdown fully opens. They wl go to Lucknow to enjoy food items. Any Kannuj local here?
Sir I am a new subscriber and very thank full to the information, I just need to know sir where can we get these ittar from online or market original quality it would be very helpful.
Bro, Thanks for the wonderful information. And I really appreciate your effort and time to put to take a fantastic documentary. You proud our country again...!!
hey fantastic video my friend, really enjoyed! Looking forward to part 2 It's good to get a glimpse into how these attars are formed, having seen several pictures etc on oud forums regarding distillations. Thank you for the effort with this (and the subtitles too)
It is not attar but ittr. I am also from kannauj but living in kanpur due to study. And I really think that kannauj has a ability to give some of the best smells of perfume to the world.
Pretty good, although we are short on all of these amazing things here in Australia... I have a friend that I must re-connect with - she had a major shop in an upscale district, like an emporium, which had international patrons: the performer 'Pink,' actress Julia Roberts... ...Satnam Ramgotra, the drummer from the Han Zimmer Hollywood movie theme music band/orchestra, really... It's a complicated market over here, sometimes absolutely nothing works, and then suddenly there is a huge upswing.
Great and informative video Nikhil . Thanks for sharing the art of making different kinds of Attars . Would love to go to Kannauj in December when I am visiting Lucknow , India .
Sir by seeing your video I feel very proud to be the part of India's biggest attar legacy... My dad is very fond of attars of heena gulab ,jannate firdous... We surely visit the Mumbai branch... And try to buy sample of attars ... So pls do suggest some name's of attars ..,I would be highly grateful. Thanku sir for educating . Will support you on this journey of yours
IMHO, this is the best video from you about traditional perfume. Now the only thing that top it up is one at Zakir bhai's place in Assam. Thank you very much. :) Ashfaque
Thank you so very much Doctor Sahab for sharing your life time experience with all of us. As we know now that there are different types of Shamama, which one would you suggest? One more request, as you happen to be in UP please make video for "Mitti ki Khushboo" attar. Keep making such prolific videos!! Peace!
Great Great! Video nikhil bhai, this journey of attars is very fascinating 😀 Thank you for letting us be the part of it. I am Truly amazed by our country's heritage. I am looking forward to try these precious attars, is there any option to buy this online or any one who provides home delivery ? Plz do let me know.
