From Our Kitchen Table to Yours
Hi love. It's Tabassum.
I grew up in a house where my mother's fragrance was a whole era — the smell of her sari folded in the closet, her hand-cream on my cheek before school, the scarf she wore to every wedding. I didn't just miss her later. I missed her scent. The invisible version of her that stayed in the room after she'd left it.
When Shakir and I built HABIBI, that's what we were chasing. Not "fragrance." Not "luxury." That thing. The thing that makes you yourself to the people who love you. The thing that stays.
We know $135 is a lot to spend on a bottle of something you've only sniffed on a blotter. So we built this Discovery Set the way we'd build it for our sister, our cousin, our best friend. Five vials. One month. No pressure. When you find her — and you will — come back. The $50 is yours.
And if you're ready for the ritual — the full bath, the body, the hair, the room — the Elevated Essentials bundle is the one I use. Every Sunday morning. Non-negotiable.
We can't wait to meet the woman you become in her.
With love from New York,
Tabassum & Shakir
