HSA Perfumes

HSA Perfumes traces its history to Dubai, where Abdul Karim, known as Karim Bhai, founded Hassan Shahin Ahmed Perfumes LLC in 1982. The business grew from his interest in making perfumes and operates from Deira, with related entities identified in the United Arab Emirates and Canada. In 2016, Abdul Karim was identified as managing director, while the company’s perfumes were being imported and exported internationally. The brand uses HSA Perfumes in North America and Hassan Shahin Ahmed elsewhere, connecting both names to its original company identity. Its fragrance work centers on Arabian incense and oil-based perfumery, including bukhoor, mamool, oud, attar, and water perfumes; its Canadian entity is also described as specializing in handcrafted bukhoor and oudh maattar. LinkedIn lists that Canadian entity as founded in 2020, distinct from the original Dubai business.
