About ARFA KHUSHBOO
Making perfume oils since 2020
We sell perfume oil: no alcohol, in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml glass roll-ons. Prices start at Rs. 300. We post all over Pakistan and you can pay the rider at the door.
How it started
We opened the shop in 2020. A counter, a shelf and a row of small glass bottles. People walked in and asked what a scent smelled like. We opened the bottle and let them smell it. That is still the best way to buy perfume oil.
Most of our bottles sold that way, across the counter. Someone came back for a second one, then bought one for a brother or a friend. Others rang instead. We wrote the name and the address down by hand, packed the bottle and gave it to the courier. That still happens every day on 0322 922 8355.
Oil was never a marketing decision. What we make is oil, nothing else. There is no alcohol thinning it, so what you smell in the bottle is close to what you smell on your wrist at four in the afternoon. In our summers that counts for a lot. Alcohol lifts off hot skin in minutes. Oil stays in it.
The website is the newest part of it. There are 26 perfume oils on the shelf now, in four groups. Until this year you had to stand in front of that shelf to know what we had. Every bottle has a page and a price on it at last. New ones go up on Instagram first.
What makes a perfume oil different
-
No alcohol in it
A perfume oil is the fragrance on its own. Nothing to sting freshly shaved skin, nothing to dry it out, and nothing that keeps you from wearing it to prayers.
-
It is concentrated
Most of a spray bottle is alcohol carrying a little scent. Here you are buying the scent itself. That is why 3ml is a real bottle and not a sample.
-
It opens on your skin
Warmth brings an oil out in stages, so the first two minutes are not the whole scent. Leave it half an hour before you decide.
-
You need very little
One light roll on each wrist covers a working day. Any more and the room notices before you do.
How we work
-
Start at 3ml
Rs. 300 gets you the smallest bottle of any perfume oil here. Wear it a week before you spend on 12ml. The oil is the same in all three sizes.

Cash on delivery, or 5% off online
Pay the rider at your door, so nothing leaves your account before the parcel arrives. Pay online instead and 5% comes off.
