In this episode of Thought Behind Things, we’re joined by Saad Afridi, the Founder & CEO of Scents N Stories, Pakistan’s leading fragrance brand with over 40 outlets, 300+ employees, and one of the top 5 players in the country’s perfume market.
From starting with men’s grooming products to building a nationwide perfume empire, Saad shares the story of how Scents N Stories grew from a small e-commerce experiment into Pakistan’s most recognizable fragrance brand.
We explore:
• Moving from beard grooming to online perfume sales • Building 40+ outlets across Pakistan using e-commerce data • Why Pakistan’s perfume market is more advanced than Indonesia & Bangladesh • Local manufacturing vs import, and how they keep costs low • Why luxury perfumes cost 30x more than theirs
