How did House of Kanzan get started?

Omesh: House of Kanzan was founded by my wife, Jimmy, and me. We both share a deep passion for fragrances and the world of scents. I have a master’s in Green Technology, a sub-branch of chemical engineering, while Jimmy is a major in Information Technology. I never thought about starting a fragrance brand as a profession until my last years in master’s when it really clicked with me. Thus, the idea of House of Kanzan started brewing in 2019 when I began working on creative ideas. The pandemic gave us the time to delve deeper into learning about ingredients, refining fragrances, and focusing on design aspects. I travelled to places after restrictions were eased, to learn more about the processing of various ingredients. Finally, in 2023, we officially launched House of Kanzan.

Why the name Kanzan?

Omesh: Kanzan means snow-covered mountain peak in ancient Japanese. I love Asian culture, especially Japan, and its beautiful landscapes inspire me to be resilient and tolerant. That’s why I chose the name Kanzan.

What sets Kanzan apart from other brands?

Omesh: House of Kanzan exists because we wanted to bring something unique to the fragrance market. While there are many wonderful brands out there, what sets us apart is the genuine passion and love we infuse into our creations. We aim to change the landscape in India, which is saturated with mass-market brands compromising on quality. We care about nature and living beings. Our creations aim to have the least impact on the environment. Our creations are like an ode to life, emotions, and the beauty found in people and raw materials.

Why did you decide to start a fragrance brand? Why fragrance?

Fragrances have a unique ability to transport us, evoke memories, and connect us to our emotions. This form of art allows me to express myself and share scents that hold personal significance.
