ABD Malik

ABD Malik is a niche fragrance project founded in 2018 by perfumer-founder ABD Malik Kalantarli, structured as a personal creative practice rather than a commercially scaled house. Kalantarli composes each fragrance as an expression of his own olfactory philosophy, drawing on diverse cultural references from Eastern and Western traditions and prioritising compositional originality over market positioning. The house's limited distribution and low profile within conventional fragrance retail is deliberate: releases are aimed at serious fragrance enthusiasts who seek out work from lesser-known independent perfumers rather than brand recognition. Without a declared country of origin, the house operates in the international space of perfumery where geography is less relevant than creative voice. ABD Malik represents the category of single-perfumer independent project that forms the most experimental edge of the niche fragrance landscape.
