Perfume Price in Nepal: A Complete Guide by Size and Type

Perfume price in Nepal for a genuine 50 ml bottle from a Pokhara house runs Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,900, and a 100 ml bottle runs Rs. 2,100 to Rs. 3,000, depending on which tier the composition sits in. Attar — the oil concentrate sold in small glass — costs less per bottle but more per millilitre: a 6 ml bottle runs Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,200. At Shahi Aroma the three perfume tiers are Rs. 1,500/Rs. 3,000, Rs. 2,100/Rs. 2,100 and Rs. 2,900/Rs. 2,900 for 50 ml and 100 ml, and the three attar tiers are Rs. 500, Rs. 800 and Rs. 1,200 for 6 ml. None of these are markdown prices — they're what's on the shelf on any given day.

This guide breaks that range down by concentration and size, explains what actually pushes a bottle from the bottom tier to the top one, and works through the arithmetic for comparing two bottles that don't share a size. It ends with how buying and delivery work, and the questions people usually ask before they order.

Perfume price in Nepal, by concentration and size

Two things move the number on the price tag: how the fragrance is carried — perfume or attar — and which tier the composition belongs to. Size matters less than you'd expect, which is worth knowing before you assume the bigger bottle always costs proportionally more.

Perfume, 50 ml and 100 ml

Perfume compositions sit in three tiers. The entry tier, which includes Sultan, prices 50 ml at Rs. 1,500 and 100 ml at Rs. 3,000 — the larger bottle costs exactly double. The mid tier, which includes Navy, prices both 50 ml and 100 ml at Rs. 2,100. The top tier, which includes Purple, prices both sizes at Rs. 2,900. In the mid and top tiers, the 100 ml bottle costs the same rupee figure as the 50 ml — which changes what it's worth per millilitre, covered further down.

Attar, 6 ml

Attar is sold in one size only, 6 ml, across the same three tiers: Rs. 500, Rs. 800 and Rs. 1,200. There's no 100 ml attar and no discount for buying more than one bottle. Attar pricing tracks perfume pricing composition by composition — a blend that costs Rs. 2,900 as a 50 ml perfume costs Rs. 1,200 as a 6 ml attar of the same blend.

What actually drives the price

Three things separate a Rs. 1,500 bottle from a Rs. 2,900 one: what's in it, how long it sat before it was bottled, and whether it was blended here or shipped in.

Raw materials, and how much of them

Entry-tier compositions lean on citrus, fruit and clean musk accords — cheaper to source and simpler to balance. Top-tier compositions carry more absolutes, resins and heavier woods: oud, orris, ambergris-style accords. Orris alone can cost more than gold by weight, and a composition built around it will always price above one built around green apple and bergamot. Concentration matters too — "perfume", "eau de parfum" and attar aren't marketing words, they describe how much fragrance oil is actually in the bottle. What those labels actually mean is worth reading before comparing two bottles on price alone.

Maceration

Every Shahi Aroma composition rests before it's sold — the house doesn't bottle and ship the same week it blends. Why the fragrance sits for ninety days before it's trusted explains the process. Resting stock ties up inventory rather than turning it over fast, and that shows up in price stability: these aren't bottles that get marked down once they've sat a while, because sitting a while is the point of making them.

Duty on imports

A bottle made abroad and sold in Nepal carries customs duty, freight and currency conversion on top of whatever it cost to make. A composition blended and macerated in Pokhara skips that stack — the price reflects materials and labour here, not shipping and duty from somewhere else. That's why an "inspired by" composition and the designer original it's inspired by don't share a price logic, even when the scent is close.

What isn't on this price list

Shahi Aroma doesn't stock imported designer originals, so there's no side-by-side sticker here to check the "inspired by" compositions against. If you're comparing this price list to a duty-free shop or an import reseller, you're comparing two different cost structures, not two prices for the same bottle. Worth saying plainly rather than letting the comparison imply more than it does.

How to compare per millilitre

Rupee price alone misleads you when sizes differ. Divide the price by the millilitres to get a number you can actually compare across bottles and tiers.

Two things stand out. First, in the entry tier the per-ml price holds steady at Rs. 30 whichever size you buy — the 100 ml is simply twice the 50 ml. Second, in the mid and top tiers the 100 ml is the better buy by volume: Rs. 21 a ml instead of Rs. 42, or Rs. 29 instead of Rs. 58, because the larger bottle isn't priced at double there. Attar looks expensive per ml against perfume — Rs. 83 to Rs. 200 against Rs. 21 to Rs. 58 — because it's a concentrate meant to be worn a drop at a time, not sprayed the way a perfume is. The per-ml number isn't a verdict on which to buy; it just tells you what a millilitre actually costs before you decide.

Questions people ask

Is Rs. 1,500 too low for a genuine perfume?

Not on its own — price depends on materials, concentration and how long a composition rested before bottling, not on a fixed rupee floor. Rs. 1,500 sits at the entry tier of this catalogue because those compositions use lighter, more affordable materials than the Rs. 2,900 tier, not because anything about them is cut short.

Why is a 100 ml bottle sometimes the same price as the 50 ml?

Because pricing is set per composition, not strictly per millilitre. In two of the three perfume tiers, 50 ml and 100 ml carry the same rupee price, which makes the 100 ml the better value by volume. Only the entry tier doubles the price for the larger size.

Why does attar cost more per ml than perfume?

Attar is an oil concentrate, not a diluted spray — a 6 ml bottle carries a denser load of fragrance material than 6 ml of perfume would. It's priced and used differently too: a drop at a time on skin, rather than sprayed from a distance.

Does customs duty get added at checkout?

No. Compositions blended in Pokhara don't carry import duty — that cost only applies to bottles brought in from abroad, and Shahi Aroma doesn't sell those. The price you see is the price you pay, aside from any delivery charge shown at checkout.

Can I keep wearing a composition I already own for less than a new bottle?

Yes — refilling an empty Shahi Aroma flacon costs less than buying new glass. Bring the empty bottle in, or ask by phone before you travel to the shop, to check the composition is currently in stock to refill.

The short version

Perfume runs Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,900 for 50 ml and Rs. 2,100 to Rs. 3,000 for 100 ml; attar runs Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,200 for 6 ml. Divide by the millilitres before you compare two bottles, not after.
