    Our story

    Made slowly, by hand, to be remembered.

    Fareed Essence began with a love of Arabian perfumery and the calm of candlelight. Every candle is hand-poured with premium soy wax and a cotton wick. Every perfume carries a 30% perfume oil concentration, so it lasts from morning into evening. From saffron and Dehnal Oud to midnight rose and cedarwood, each scent is chosen to feel like no other.

    Based in Boksburg, Gauteng, delivering across South Africa.
