The house

We do not make perfume. We bottle the in-between.

Shahi Aroma began with a question a perfumer could not answer: what does the moment before rain actually smell like? Not the rain — the held breath before it. Every composition since has chased that interval, the threshold where one thing is becoming another.

Each scent is built from a small number of ingredients, sourced at origin, and left to macerate for ninety days before it is judged worthy of glass. Restraint is not a constraint here. It is the whole point.

How to wear it

The ritual.

01 — 03
01

Warm the skin

Fragrance opens where blood runs close to the surface — wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears. Never rub; rubbing bruises the top notes before they can speak.

02

Spray at a distance

Hold the flacon a hand-span away and let the mist settle onto skin. Two sprays are enough — the concentration is built to last the working day, not to announce your arrival.

03

Layer with attar

For the evening, press a trace of attar into the pulse first, then mist the eau de parfum over it. The oil holds the base notes; the alcohol lifts the top. It lasts until you take it off.

In their words

Worn, and remembered.

I stopped wearing anything else. People don't ask what it is — they ask where they know me from.

It's the first fragrance that feels like it was composed for a room I haven't entered yet. Quietly extraordinary.

Bois Latent on a cold morning is the closest thing I own to a memory I can put on. I gift it constantly.

Why we let a fragrance sit for ninety days before we trust it

Maceration is the part no one sees and everyone smells. A short essay on patience, oxidation, and the difference between a scent that announces itself and one that lingers.

Service · 01

Shipping, across Nepal.

Every order is hand-packed at the atelier and dispatched within 1–2 working days. Delivery is door-to-door anywhere in Nepal — typically 2–4 days inside the valley, 3–7 days beyond it.

Pay online through eSewa, or in cash when the parcel reaches your door. Damaged in transit? We replace it — see the return policy.

Service · 02

Samples, before you commit.

A fragrance should be worn for a week before it is judged. Our discovery sets carry the house in miniature — wear one a day, and the one you reach for twice is yours.

Browse the discovery coffrets, or ask us to slip a sample of your shortlist into any order.

Service · 03

The refill programme.

A flacon is built to outlive its first pour. Bring an empty Shahi Aroma bottle back to us — or send it with your next order — and we refill it for less than the price of new glass.

Less glass, less waste, the same composition. Write to us to arrange a refill.

Before you ask

Plain answers.

FAQ
How long does delivery take?

Orders are hand-packed and dispatched within 1–2 working days. Inside Pokhara the parcel usually arrives the same or next day; the Kathmandu valley takes 2–4 days, and elsewhere in Nepal 3–7. Pay by eSewa now, or in cash at the door.

How long does the fragrance last on skin?

Expect 6 to 8 hours on skin from the eau de parfum, and longer on fabric. Attars, being pure oil, sit closer to the body and outlast the day.

Are the attars alcohol-free?

Yes. Attars are oil concentrates worn at the pulse, composed entirely without alcohol. If you avoid alcohol for any reason, that line is yours.

What if my order arrives damaged?

We replace it. Photograph the parcel as it arrived, write to us within 7 days, and a replacement leaves with the next dispatch. The return policy carries the details.

Can I refill an empty bottle?

Yes — bring or send an empty Shahi Aroma flacon back to us and we refill it for less than the price of new glass. Ask about the refill programme when you write.
