NSHQ

First of all.. I am Nouf Al-Qahtani. Born in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Perfume is my second identity after the one above. Scent is my compass. Scent is my bet! I believe that we can identify people by their scents as much as their names do.. at least in our memory. The combination that creates a new scent has always been my passion. Chemistry helped me, I studied it and taught me how to create the right combination every time. Family as well, perfume was an integral part of it, always present with them and awakening my sense and enthusiasm for the idea.. to immerse myself in the details of the idea itself.. the idea of ​​perfume. I am Nouf, and Dar Nashaq is my way of introducing myself. In 2005, Dar Nashaq was founded, the culmination of a long journey of studying scent with all its history, destinations and features that indicate the origin of each land.. and tell the scents of each country. I studied perfume with love and knowledge.. the first throughout my life and the second in several French institutes specialized in the field. Dar Nashaq.. is my autobiography. I am Nouf Al-Qahtani.. and this house with all its achievements and awards is originally for you.. so that you may find a scent that evokes you in the memory of those who love you and whom you love.
