A British family perfumery in the alcohol-free attar tradition, with four numbered Eau d'Attar scents and bespoke blending

About Jamal Perfumers London

Jamal Perfumers London is a British family perfumery founded in England in 1980 by husband-and-wife perfumers Ismaeel and Aamenah Jamal. They began the business from their home in Leicestershire, bringing an established attar tradition into a specialist fragrance house. The family’s work remains centred on alcohol-free attar and the meeting of eastern perfumery with contemporary fragrance design.

The house is now led by second-generation perfumer and cosmetic scientist Mohammed Jamal. He grew up around the family business and later returned to it after working in fragrance and retail. His work draws on the family’s attar practice and a specifically British and London identity. The brand also offers bespoke perfumery and experiences alongside its retail range.

The current shop lists four named scents: Scent 301, Scent 642, Scent 774 and Scent 935. Each appears in 50ml and 100ml sizes under the house’s Eau d’Attar designation. The range inventory treats these sizes as variants of the same scent. Separate retailer listings for limited-edition Eau de Parfum versions of three names leave their relationship to the current products unresolved, so those are not represented as confirmed current catalogue variants here.

Jamal Perfumers London fits the niche category as a specialist family perfumery with a distinct product tradition and focused direct range. Its published history supports an English origin and 1980 establishment date. The four scents run from tuberose and jasmine in Scent 642 and rose with oud in Scent 935 to leather, tobacco and spice in Scent 301 and saffron, amber and plum in Scent 774. The house does not state how long the scents last or where individual products are made.

Brand Evolution

Ismaeel and Aamenah Jamal set up the house in Leicestershire in 1980. It is now led by second-generation chemist and master perfumer Mohammed Jamal, who pairs the attar tradition with modern perfumery under the Eau d'Attar name and offers bespoke work and perfumery experiences.

Quick Verdict

A rare UK house built on alcohol-free attar. Scent 642 and Scent 935 show the floral side, and Scent 301 and Scent 774 are the leather and spice choices.
