At Sifr Aromatics, design is as integral to our story as our perfumes. Eleven years ago, the arabesque pattern featured within our atelier were meticulously hand-painted by artists Kiimi and Josh, offering a glimpse into the artistry and care behind every detail. This timeless motif not only represents cultural richness but also serves as a visual connection to the values of craftsmanship and originality that define Sifr. Here’s a snippet of the full video showcasing this thoughtful curation. From decor to fragrance, our atelier reflects a carefully designed experience.

About us
Sifr Aromatics is an independent home-grown niche perfume shop established in Singapore in 2010 by Johari Kazura. We specialise in customised perfume blends, small-batch perfumes, scented soy-wax candles, natural essential oil blends, home fragrances, and scent accessories. Sifr (صفر) means zero in Arabic; a state of nothingness from which all things are created. Inspired by the classic scents of the old world, we strive to create high-quality products and memorable experiences by harmoniously fusing the craft of traditional perfumery with the best aromatics modern science has produced, to create a new generation of scent. The aromas we produce are an embodiment of nature's finest scents, locally blended by our master perfumers to delight, uplift, and relax. Come explore the hidden treasures of our store, from vintage perfume bottles and unique scent diffusers to hand-poured candles and limited-run perfumes.

When two worlds of artistry come together, something extraordinary happens. We were beyond privileged to welcome Ludovico Einaudi, the world-renowned composer and pianist, into our store to play live. As his melodies filled the space, our perfumer Johari crafted perfumes inspired by the music—blending notes to the rhythm of Ludovico’s performance. As a niche fragrance house passionate about the art of perfumery, having Ludovico play for us (for free!) was a moment that truly celebrated creativity, collaboration, and the beauty of craft. Thank you, Ludovico, for sharing your gift with us and allowing us to create something unforgettable together. 💛 #SifrAromatics #LudovicoEinaudi #ArtistryInPerfume #CraftingMoments #MusicAndScent #Nicheperfume #supportlocal #madeinsingapore

Our in-house perfumer, Johari Kazura, is a 3rd-generation artisan carrying forward a legacy of craftsmanship rooted in Singapore’s Kampong Gelam. Perfume-making at Sifr is more than just creating scents; it's about crafting experiences that are personal and deeply intentional. We’re grateful to be featured by Monocle, who beautifully captured our dedication to this craft: 'Perfume-making at Sifr is a boundlessly customisable experience, where Kazura will help sift through your favourite olfactory memories, preferences, and ingredients. It’s a tailored process where he iterates with intention, a skill he picked up from his father but honed with time.

Reflecting on our memorable collaboration with OH! Open House earlier this year for their thought-provoking art walk experience in Kampong Gelam. From March to May, Sifr Aromatics was honored to showcase Thai artist Ruangsak Anuwatwimon’s impactful art installation within our atelier, part of an experience exploring reconstruction, revision, and rediscovery. This art walk encouraged visitors to peel back the long-forgotten layers of change in Singapore’s historic Malay-Muslim Quarter, inviting a deeper appreciation for the area's rich heritage. It was a celebration of art, culture, and community, set in the vibrant heart of Kampong Gelam. Here’s to more inspiring partnerships that bring our stories to light. #ArtMeetsHeritage #SifrAromatics #CreativeCollaborations #KampongGelam #CulturalHeritage #ArtInstallations #OpenHouse #Artwalk #partnerships

We recently had the incredible privilege of hosting Malala Yousafzai and her husband, Asser Malik, to our atelier for a very special Custom Perfume Consultation. Together, they crafted two fragrances—each capturing their stories during their time in Singapore. We are inspired by Malala's unwavering dedication to education and her courage to stand for what is right, even in the face of adversity. Asser’s advocacy for social change and his work empowering communities also resonate deeply with our values. Knowing that they chose us to be part of this personal and meaningful experience is something we’ll always hold close. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do—to create, to connect, and to celebrate the stories that shape us. #nicheperfumes #supportsmallbusiness #MadeInSingapore #supportlocal #HandcraftedPerfume #CustomFragrance
