Exotic Oud India by Nuzhat Hashir

On one of our trips to Saudi Arabia we met a Bedouin (Arab nomads) family through our family which resides in Saudi Arabia. These Bedouin families make beautiful our blends for hair & body, Bakhoors & Lubans for Home. We gifted these fragrances to our family & friends in India.

Everyone was soon in love with these fragrances that we decided to introduce these heavenly fragrances in India. So that’s how we started our company about 3 year’s ago…
Oud is one of the most expensive and desirable perfume ingredients in the world. It has an intoxicating musky scent that can be quite potent and has been used for centuries in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Today, it is used to create some amazing fragrances for both men and women. Our fragrances are based on the same formulation which is derived from the Bedouin Arab families.

We were the 1st brand to introduce Hair fragrances in India. We have a variety of fragrances for Hair, Body & Home which are Halal & Alcohol free. We initially started pan India, but due to the high demand of these fragrances in other countries we started delivering worldwide as well. We also cater to the UAE & Saudi Royalties & Elite. These luxury fragrances are like no other & that’s why we want to share this luxury with you all.
This brand was founded by Mrs Nuzhat Hashir Gazdar who is also the CEO of Exotic Oud India. She is a women entrepreneur who is highly passionate about fragrances and so has succeeded in making people aware of the same around the world thus proving her passion across masses.

Mrs. Nuzhat also educates people about how to make the best use of their perfumes and how to use them perfectly thereby emphasising on how to get the 100% out of their fragrances. She is a perfectionist and is very particular about the finest intricate details of her packaging that reaches out to her clients. Her expertise in pairing fragrances has caught attention world wide . Her passion for fragrances has created a new market venture for Oud blends in India along with proper knowledge and use of the same.

Exotic Oud India got a lot of support from many Bollywood Celebrities, Politicians, Bloggers, Corporate houses, Entrepreneurs & the masses. Our Goal is to open a chain of store’s in India, Middle-east & across the globe.
Thanks to the support we get from people, Inshallah we will be able to do it soon.

Fab allure is a beauty skincare and hair care brand located in Mumbai.
The owner Ayesha Memon shared with us her struggle journey from a housewife to a successful brand owner.

I was a home maker and used to work day and night for my family. I was really occupied and never thought this day would come. I always had interest in doing business from when I joined my first year in college (kishinchand chellaram) and was really worried about how to become a successful entrepreneur. But as time passed and I got married I thought that it would just remain as my dream.

After nearly 7 years of our marriage my mother-in-law told me to do something which can keep me engaged and stress free and likewise my family supported me in taking my very first step towards online business which was on a very small scale in year 2016. At the same time I got my daughter and I call her my lucky charm. That’s because she came in my life and I was able to fulfil my dream. Before starting my business I learned formulating my Herbal Products, Organic Products, Aromatherapy based products with many institutes online and offline.

I started working on social media from 2017 and launched my brand Fab Allure as a herbal brand where I use to provide hand curated skin care and hair products .
I kept on learning and formulating products and started making cosmetics, personal care, baby care and even per care products .
I was very happy with the reviews that my clients really trust me and they loved my brand. So I decided to expand it on a professional level. I registered my brand and took governments various approvals and finally launched my professional products related to hair care and skincare. I focused on the quality of Products, Packaging, Advertising all on my own as I enjoyed doing so. My main motive was to create not only my brand awareness but also wanted to make people aware about how skincare and haircare is so important.

No one can have a perfect fair skin or straight shiny hair but, Yes, you can get a skin or hair which are free from any kind of major problems like excessive hair fall, patchy skin, dark circles, dandruff. You can definitely get rid of this problems and there is a true solution. I want to make people aware about this and let them start taking care of there skin and hair.

A good skin and good hair makes you confident to stand in front of others. So it is necessary to keep yourself in hygiene as skincare and hair care is also a part of it
Talking about my business I love doing it and it really made me learn many things of corporate line.

Every women must think or try for doing some kind of business it will change your mind and it will change your negative point of views in positive. You will not loose hope unless and until you loose your network that’s it and it will never happen.
