Born into a family with generations of expertise in the fragrance industry, Mr. Zakir Hussain discovered his passion for oud and traditional perfumery at an early age. His journey began in the forests of Assam, where he gained hands-on knowledge in identifying, selecting, and sourcing the finest quality agarwood. This deep understanding of authentic oud wood laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to excellence in luxury fragrance craftsmanship.

In 1985, carrying forward generations of wisdom and a clear vision to introduce genuine Arabian oud perfumes to a global audience, he established Imphal Oud in Dubai’s historic Gold Souk. The brand quickly became known for its premium oud oils, oriental perfumes, and dedication to purity and authenticity.

Today, his unwavering focus on quality, heritage, and ethical sourcing continues to inspire every fragrance we create. Each bottle of Imphal Oud represents more than just a scent, it reflects decades of tradition, refined artistry, and the timeless legacy of true oud craftsmanship.
