About Us
A Vision That Crossed Borders
What began as a family venture in Mumbai was transformed by the ambition of three visionary brothers. In the late 1980s, they saw a world that was ready for the authentic scents of India, but required a new level of professional quality. Under their leadership, HEM scaled its craft into a global benchmark.
Today, the brand is a trusted presence in over 90 countries. This international reach is built on a simple but powerful philosophy. while the love for fragrance is universal, the way it is experienced is personal. This is why HEM specializes in creating bespoke scents and localized packaging, ensuring that every product feels like a natural part of the culture it enters.
The Future of Wellness
Now led by a third generation, HEM continues to evolve. While the brand has grown to include over 1,000 products and 400 in-house fragrances, the focus remains on the same entrepreneurial spirit that started it all. From its state-of-the-art facilities in Mumbai and Bengaluru, HEM is moving beyond incense into a complete home fragrance and wellness ecosystem.
Through every expansion and every new fragrance, the goal remains unchanged: to bring a sense of peace, harmony, and a touch of the Shah family’s craft to the world.
