Abdul Rashid / عبد الرشيد
Mumbai attar house with 65 years in oud and oriental fragrance.
Abdul Rashid is a Mumbai-based attar house established in 1956 by its namesake founder, rooted in the classical Indian tradition of concentrated perfume oils. Operating from the dense fragrance bazaars of Mumbai for nearly seventy years, the house specialises in attars — alcohol-free concentrations distilled by the deg-bhapka method or blended from oud, rose, musk, and vetiver absolutes — alongside a range of bakhoor incense and oriental compositions. The Abdul Rashid catalogue reflects South Asian and Arabian olfactory preferences: warm, rich, deeply sillaged compositions built for longevity on skin and fabric. Accessible pricing relative to the quality of materials used makes the house an important resource for collectors seeking authentic Indian attar culture without the premium commanded by newer boutique brands. The Instagram community under @attarabdulrashid is an active point of connection for oud and attar enthusiasts.
