Our story began in 1998 on the busy streets of Canning Street, Kolkata. With nothing but determination and a dream, we set out to bring high-quality perfumes to every corner of India.
In 2002, we took a leap forward by setting up a small home production facility. It wasn’t grand, but it was ours, and it gave us the opportunity to turn our passion into reality.
Between 2006 and 2007, we established our very first factory in Uttarakhand. This milestone was a game-changer, allowing us to scale production, improve efficiency, and explore exciting new ideas in fragrance creation.
Starting in 2008, we began our R&D journey and established a dedicated center in Delhi. In 2020, we officially rebranded as Purpos Planet, marking a turning point for our company. This change enabled us to focus heavily on innovation and quality. Our fragrances, crafted with creativity and precision, have become synonymous with trust and excellence, setting us apart in the industry.
