Perfume houses from Singapore
Jamal Kazura Aromatics
Family perfume oil house in Kampong Glam. It began in 1933 as Kazura Company, a trade store selling books and pilgrimage goods. In the mid 1970s Jamal Kazura turned it into a perfume shop focused on attar, the alcohol-free oil perfumes, and in-house blends. The heritage board calls it the oldest homegrown perfume business in Singapore. The third generation now runs it.
