the origins
When we think of modern day perfumery, we often think about brands like Chanel and Dior, and countries like France, Italy and the UK. But many of us don’t realize that modern day perfumery actually originated from 9th Century Islamic Spain.
While the rest of the world was dormant, the Islamic Empire was buzzing with progress and innovation. There was so much advancement in Science, Mathematics, Medicine, and almost every field that this period was dubbed the Golden Era.
FATHERS OF MODERN PERFUMERY
During this era, there were two Muslim scientists, called Jaber Ibn Al Hayyan and Abu Yusuf Al Kindi, who developed the process of distillation. With their new technology, they were able to extract essential fragrance oils from newer and more unique sources.
With a library of different scents at their fingertips, they were able to create fascinating perfume blends. Together, they were credited for creating hundreds, if not thousands, of amazing fragrances.
As the Muslim empire expanded and trade routes were established between nations, the wonderful creations of Jaber & Kindi began to spread around the world. Their unique recipes and methods of perfume making were passed down from generation to generation, from one country to another, and eventually evolved into perfumery as we know it today.
Our Story
Today, we get hyped about the latest fragrance releases from our favorite perfume houses. But Imagine what that would have been like in 9th Century Spain. Imagine being able to get your hands on a rare and exquisite creation by Jaber & Kindi. Imagine being able to wear one of their fragrances and what that would have smelled like.
We created Jaber & Kindi because we wanted to return to the roots of modern day perfumery. Our goal was to create authentic fragrances inspired by the ingredients, recipes, and techniques that they would have used. The key was to offer an authentic, genuine and historic experience.
