Our story
Two names
became one.
Zariya began with two people and one idea. Abuzer and Zahabiya joined their names to make it — and in Hindi and Urdu, the word already meant "a means of giving." The perfume followed the name.
Where it began
A personal thing,
at first.
Abuzer and Zahabiya took parts of their own names and made a new one — and it turned out the word already carried a meaning. In Hindi and Urdu, Zariya is "a provider, a means of giving."
That felt right, because the idea behind the perfume was a kind of giving too. Almost everything on the fragrance shelf is built on alcohol — the reason it can dry the skin and bite going on. They wanted to make something gentler.
The name
Zariya means "a means of giving."
Some brands go looking for a story. Ours was there from the start — a word that was already about giving, on a bottle made to be given.
What we're building
Rich to look at.
Kind to wear.
Made for a young life.
The look is unapologetically rich — gold, black, the crowned Kufic mark. The price is made for a young life in Ireland or the UK, not a luxury counter. Six scents to move between, in a bottle that feels like a gift.
Because, in the end, that's what it is. Made with water. Kind to your skin.
From our hands to yours.
Thank you for being early. What you're holding is the start of something we made carefully, and we're glad to share it.
