The Story
Friday began long before the first bottle was poured.
It began with me. My life, my work, my faith, and the way I learned to see the world.
As an artist and designer, I learned to pay attention to the small things. The quiet details. The intention behind each choice. I learned that meaning is not found in noise, but in clear and pure intentions. In presence. In care. Those lessons followed me through every season of my life.
Fragrance entered my life as another form of design. Another way to shape real human experiences. Another way to bring intention and goodness into everyday moments. I wanted scents that are grounded in nature from the rarest and finest ingredients on earth. Scents that prioritize usability, accessibility, and purpose.
So I created my own.
Friday is the meeting point of all these parts of me.
My design philosophy.
My spiritual grounding.
My love for simplicity and depth.
I craft each fragrance the same way I design. With intention, clarity, and a deep respect for the user. This is what I call FragranceUX. A way of creating scent that considers how a fragrance is carried, shared, experienced, and remembered.
Vanilla Silence No. 1 is the first chapter of my scent journey. Created during a time when I needed calm, clarity, and stillness. It became more than a fragrance. It became a reminder to breathe. To slow down. To return to the sweetness only found in deep quietude.
That is the heart of Friday.
A fragrance philosophy rooted in presence.
A return to meaning.
A practice of intention.
Each bottle reflects a piece of me.
My story. My journey. My values.
And each scent is an invitation.
To pause.
To be present.
To return to yourself.
This is how Friday began.
And this is only the beginning - bi’ithnillah
