Kazi Abidur: How I Built A $15M/Year Fragrance Business

In this video, we met up with entrepreneur Kazi Abidur Rahman, who built a fragrance business with his 4 brothers generating £15M a year, which started with just £600. He shows us how he started at a market stall, and scaled to 34 stores across Europe, navigating the business world as a muslim, how his business operates through warehouse and distribution, and his plans to expand Sunnamusk globally.

[@speakgoodorsilence2205]

As a customer couldnt be more happy with my purchases. I appreciate niche perfumes like these that focus more on juice quality then bottles design and ads

[@Sierra_mike]

I’ve never met any of the brothers personally but have seen them around in east London quite often. Amazing story, true inspiration and extremely grounded. Allah humbarik. May you grow and prosper more and may Allah make it easy for all of us Ameen.

[@290revolver290]

Just like Top G once said when he was growing up in England, brothers like these were the inspiration for him and The Talisman. The lone wolf loses at the end, the pack of wolves always win the most.

Sunna musk is the real deal. I love my high street fragrances but sunna musk even more so. The quality speaks volumes and it lasts so long. I even have a way to apply it in my car. From the branding to the pricing, top notch. I also love how it's displayed in the shops. Alhamdulillah all the hard grafting has been fruitful. May Allah swt make sunna musk the joy of every musk lover. Ameen

[@salmanmalik6318]

How do you apply it to your car?

[@nmomin9398]

Wow- what an inspirational story! Loved it. Praying they achieve the £100m target set and that Allah rewards them for keeping it halal by avoiding riba.

No doubts , a good way of growing and saving your money is through investing . You don't need to have much before you can invest. "That little money you have now can make you millions if you invest it wisely". I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made

For someone without any money this would probably be one of the worst ways to start a business. What if it doesn't work you are stuck with £30k debt.

[@ahmadalami9640]

Hey bro are your attars made from natural essential oils are do they contain synthetics as well?

[@UltimateProbot]

Synthetics are part of the mix.

Something seems off about this. He says he’s doing $15m a year but companies house his current assets were worth £163k in 2022.

They don't called it interest they call it a gift nothing is free but smart for tax

allahhumabarak

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

doing firnas was a complete and utter business flop. Watching your videos it seems to me the logical stop for you would have been to vertically intregrate and bypass the swiss company and set up your own raw perfume labs, getting fragrance from plants. You could then sell the raw ingredients to pharmacies, supermarkets and the like. It will give you aw competitive edge as you supply yourselves and also get yourself into more secure position where you have big business clients buying from you. Especially with brexit, it could be better financailly for british businesses to buy from british lab and not a swiss one.

[@LoveYou-ol3dt]

It would be very expensive though and maybe they didn't have the funds then.

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

@@LoveYou-ol3dt cant be more expensive than an airline

[@motasaab]

What a total rip off , these attar/our/musk/perfume bottles were sold for a pound outside masjids everywhere and just by rebooting them into premium bottles and charging £100 per bottles they have hit the jackpot, simple but effective 😎

[@TatesBriefWisdom]

it took 15 years keep that in mind

[@24YT07]

Would rather spend my money here knowing it’s halal.

[@Mind___Billionaire]

How would perfume be haram??

[@---qu9nl]

Hes probs drinks his perfumes time to time ​@Mind___Billionaire

It definitely is more than numbers! Never respect anyone who uses the religion as a means to make a business.
