SHAMA BROTHERS & PERFUMERS A Perfumed History for ShamaThe history of Shama Perfumes begins in the classic period of the “Mughal Empire”or, more precisely, during the reign of “Shahjehan”. It was a time of extravagance, marked by grand durbars, sumptuous feasts, architectural masterpieces and exquisite paintings. The Empire was in cultural overdrive, and Mughal royalty was its prime mover, pulling out the stops to serve its passion for self-indulgence. Among its myriad obsessions, attar enjoyed a special place. This uniquely Indian perfume, distilled and concocted by master perfumers, came in a range of scents to suit every occasion.. It could be worn in the boudoir or the banquet hall, by courtiers or courtesans.It could enliven an ordinary day, or make a night enchanting. Not surprisingly, it proved irresistible to the sybarites of the day, including the Emperor and his celebrated wife, the Empress Mumtaz Begum.Complexity to rejoice in, Atifa Noir is a special occasion perfume that promises worlds as yet undiscovered. Anchored around a chord that is equal parts soil tincture and damp wood, a swirl of fruity notes (golden orangey tones rather than any specific fruit) entices the nose. The rose and black pepper of the mid-section are surely there but fused together into one entity and then further blended into the seductive earth and musty wood accord. Hints of dark chocolate and dry vanilla round it off. Wearing Atifa Noir is like wearing heavily embroidered clothing with movement different parts of the pattern are revealed, yet the overall effect is luxurious and hard-won.
