Perfumes: New Legal Nasha in India? Hassan Siddique | Kanthastra Podcast #20

Perfumes the New Legal Nasha in India? Hassan Siddique | Kanthastra Podcast #20 In this episode, I sit down with Hassan Siddique — founder of Hasan Oud — to decode the rapid rise of perfumes in India. We discuss the perfume boom, India’s growing obsession with oud, whether the market is driven by real perfumery or just trends, and why India still doesn’t have a global luxury perfume brand despite having one of the world’s richest fragrance heritages. From Kannauj’s attar legacy to modern-day perfume reviewers, from hype-driven buying to authentic scent appreciation, this conversation explores the future of Indian perfumery and what it will take for India to build a true luxury fragrance house. If you’re curious about Indian perfumes, luxury scents, attars, oud culture, or how the fragrance community is evolving in India, this deep-dive with Hassan Siddique is a must-watch. 📢 Join Kanthastra FAM Membership for exclusive Perks and Benefits. 👉 Join Here    / @kanthastra   📢 Follow KANTHASTRA on socials: Instagram -   / kanthastra_beatbox   📢 Follow Hasan Oud -   / hasanoud   📢 Podcast Shoot By - Chitrgrafer:   / chitrgrapfe.  . 📢 Check out our other podcasts -    / @kanthastra   🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for future episodes — I bring you stories & lessons from India’s hip-hop & entertainment ecosystem every week. #podcast #perfume #perfumes #perfumepodcast #Fragrance #Fragrancepodcast #kanthastrapodcast #hassansiddique #Luxuryperfumes #Mostcomplimentedperfumes #Indianperfume #Indianperfumehouse #fragrancecommunity 0:00 – Introduction to the Kanthastra Fragrance Series 0:47 – The Indian Perfume Conversation Begins 2:30 – “Legal Nasha”: Why Perfume Is Addictive in India 5:08 – Alpha & Imperial Majesty 6:35 – Why India Still Has No Global Luxury Perfume Brand 9:46 – The Rising Perfume Wave in India 13:30 – Hassan Siddique: His Journey Into Perfumery 19:36 – Hassan Siddique’s Honest Reviews & Approach 22:20 – How Hasan Oud Was Created 27:43 – How to Start a Perfume Business in India 32:05 – Competition in the Fragrance Industry 34:35 – Top 3 Hasan Oud Fragrances 35:48 – Top 5 Fragrances of All Time 39:36 – Perfume Reviewers & The Indian Fragrance Community 44:36 – Funny Customer Encounters in the Perfume World 50:33 – Popular Myths About Perfumes (Busted!) 52:40 – Reflecting on the Journey: Hasan’s Thoughts 53:47 – Talking About Subscribers & Community Support 55:53 – Final Thoughts on the Conversation 56:55 – A Message from Hassan Siddique 57:41 – Words of Appreciation from Hassan Siddique Tags Hasan Oud, Hassan Siddique, Indian perfumery, Indian perfume brands, India perfume boom, Indian fragrance industry, oud India, attar India, Kannauj attar, Indian luxury perfume brand, perfume trend India, perfume wave India, perfume hype India, fragrance community India, perfume reviewers India, Indian oud brands, niche perfume India, luxury perfume India, Indian attar culture, perfume podcast India, India perfume market, Indian fragrance culture, Indian scent culture, perfume buying India, perfume review India, Indian perfume story, fragrance boom India, Indian fragrance market, perfume addiction India, legal nasha perfume, oud culture India, perfume education India
