Shekor means "Roots" in Bangla. This meaning is no accident. The brand was founded in 2023 by three friends: Abedin, Abdullah, and Moutushee. All three share a deep connection to Bangladesh.

The story began in 2022 when creative director Abedin met renowned perfumer [Antonio Gardoni](Antonio Gardoni). Gardoni is the mind behind Bogue Profumo and known for his artistic compositions. What started as an idea for a single fragrance evolved into a complete brand.

Shekor follows a clear mission: to bring Bangladesh's identity to the world through perfume. Each scent tells a story about the land. The monsoon rains, the tea gardens of Sylhet, the vibrant streets of Old Dhaka - all translated into bottles. The brand calls its creations "sensorial love letters to Bangladeshi heritage".

The compositions are created in Barcelona, with final bottling in Milan. This combination of Bangladeshi inspiration and European craftsmanship makes Shekor unique. In April 2025, the brand presented itself for the first time in Dhaka to diplomats and fragrance lovers. The global breakthrough followed at Pitti Fragranze 2025 in Florence.

Today, Shekor is available in 24 countries, including Germany, France, the USA, and China. The brand positions itself clearly in the luxury niche fragrance segment. At Parfinity, you can test Shekor fragrances as samples before committing to a full bottle.

Shekor launched with two fragrances that couldn't be more different. Both tell stories of Bangladesh, yet each in its own way.

Ashar captures the first monsoon rain. Perfumer [Sultan Pasha](Sultan Pasha), himself of Bengali origin, created this chypre-floral scent. The opening brings fresh citrus notes and a clean rain accord. It smells like the air after a thunderstorm. At the heart, you'll find green tea and bamboo. The base becomes earthy and soft, with amber, musk, and surprising salt notes. The longevity is impressive, staying present all day without being overwhelming.

Sylhet is Antonio Gardoni's tribute to the tea region in northeastern Bangladesh. This green, woody tea fragrance opens with lemongrass, lime, and mint. The freshness is intense and invigorating. At the heart, black tea meets oud and black pepper. This combination creates meditative depth. The base of patchouli, musk, and tonka bean carries long and soothingly.

Both fragrances are crafted as Extrait de Parfum. The concentration ensures intensity and endurance. More creations are planned: "Dacca", "1971", "Muslin" - each name carries cultural significance. At Parfinity, you can order Shekor samples and test both fragrances at home in comfort.

Shekor brings a completely new perspective to the world of niche fragrances. While many brands tell European or American stories, Shekor opens a window to South Asia. The fragrances aren't fantasies, but authentic interpretations of places, moments, and memories.

The collaboration with perfumers like Antonio Gardoni and Sultan Pasha shows the brand's ambition. Both are highly respected in the niche scene. Their signatures are recognizable, yet they serve the story Shekor wants to tell. The result is fragrances that are technically brilliant and emotionally touching.

The luxury pricing reflects the quality of raw materials and artisanal work. But with such investments, it's important to know the fragrance beforehand. This is where Parfinity comes in.
