Shaadi is the most special day in the lives of the bride and the groom – a moment that Hindi movies have turned into an extravagant, joy-filled, four/ five day celebration. Between choreographed sangeets, colour-coordinated decor, and meticulous wedding planners, every detail of the D-day is thought through.
And yet, beyond the festivities and the laughter, there’s a quiet undercurrent of emotion, especially within the bride’s family.
Because she is the one who leaves her home and steps into a new abode.
In those in-between moments of chaos and calm, her mind drifts back: to her cocooned childhood, to the affection that shaped her, to the small rituals that made her feel loved. And if you pay attention, there’s one thread that ties all these memories together… scent.
Scent: The Silent Keeper of Memories
The first time she wore her mum’s saree for her school farewell; she reached for her mum’s perfume too. A moment of pride, love, and elegance, wrapped in a fragrance that has stayed with her forever.
The summers when Baba (Dad) returned from the market with her favourite fruits, their scent filling the home, signalling comfort and care.
The evenings on the school field, after football practice, the smell of freshly mowed grass, of freedom and childhood innocence.
Every emotion, every milestone, every memory has lived with a scent. So how can the most important day of her life be bereft of one? A day this special deserves fragrances that honour memory: natural, alcohol-free, long-lasting scents that don’t just smell good, but mean something. This is where ittars become the perfect addition to shaadi gifting and wedding hampers.
Why Ittars Are a Top Pick for Shaadi Hampers
1. They are natural & alcohol-free
Safe for all skin types, especially during long weddings, where guests apply fragrances multiple times.
2. They last through hours of ceremonies
From the haldi morning to the reception night, ittars stay on the skin – warm, intimate, and steady.
3. They are traditional, meaningful gifts
Ittars have been part of Indian weddings for centuries – a symbol of purity, beauty, and celebration.
4. They carry emotion, not just aroma
Unlike mass-produced perfumes, artisanal ittars feel personal. They can become a bride’s new signature scent, or a groom’s cherished keepsake.
Zikrr: From the Land of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb
Zikrr was born in Lucknow, a city known for its delicate tehzeeb and centuries-old perfumery traditions. The iconic Hina Building has long been a symbol of craft and fragrance and Zikrr carries this heritage forward with pride. Every bottle we create is a small tribute to the artistry of Lucknow, to nostalgia, and to the emotions a wedding brings.
Which is why ittars from Zikrr make such a natural fit for shaadi gifting.
