What is Zarbafti?
Zarbafti is a Pakistani perfume brand with three scents inspired by the arc of a day: Sahar (morning), Ufaq (afternoon), and Shaam (evening). Each full-size bottle is 50 ml.
How do Sahar, Ufaq, and Shaam differ?
Sahar (The Morning): Crisp, fruity-woody, and awakening — featuring notes of Bergamot, Royal Pineapple, Birch, and Clean Musk.
Ufaq (The Afternoon): Warm, spicy, and commanding — blending Blood Mandarin, Cinnamon, Blonde Leather, and Rich Amber.
Shaam (The Evening): Deep, sweet, and intoxicating — an opulent gourmand trail of Cinnamon Bark, Sweet Dates, Praline, Dark Vanilla, and Amberwood.
How long does the fragrance last?
Every Zarbafti fragrance is formulated as a high-concentration Eau de Parfum (20%+ perfume oil) engineered for the Pakistani climate. On average, our scents deliver 8 to 10+ hours of longevity on skin and 24+ hours on fabric, though exact performance naturally varies with skin chemistry, weather, and application. For maximum projection, let your bottle rest 24 hours after courier delivery, apply 3–5 sprays to moisturised pulse points and collar fabric, and never rub your wrists together.
Are Zarbafti fragrances for men or women?
Our entire collection is crafted to be versatile and unisex-leaning, designed around moments of the day rather than strict rules. Sahar offers a crisp, commanding freshness; Ufaq projects warm, spicy executive confidence; and Shaam delivers a rich, sweet-spicy evening allure loved equally by men and women.
Can I layer the three perfumes together?
Yes! Because Sahar, Ufaq, and Shaam share complementary base structures, you can layer them on your skin to create up to 7 unique scent combinations — such as pairing 2 sprays of Sahar with 1 spray of Ufaq for a crisp, woody afternoon transition.
What is the Discovery Set / Testers?
The Discovery Set includes testers of Sahar, Ufaq, and Shaam so you can explore all three before choosing a full bottle — ideal if you are new to the house or buying a gift thoughtfully. Together with our 15% first-order welcome privilege for new subscribers, it is the risk-free way to discover a scent before a full 50 ml bottle.
What is The Zarbafti Trilogy?
The Trilogy is all three full-size 50 ml bottles — Sahar, Ufaq, and Shaam — presented together in a gift-ready box. Shipping on the Trilogy Bundle is free nationwide within Pakistan.
What payment methods do you accept?
We currently accept Cash on Delivery (COD) within Pakistan. You pay the courier when your order arrives. Online payments may be added later; available methods will appear at checkout.
Will you call me about my COD order?
Yes — every order is confirmed by phone or WhatsApp before dispatch. Unconfirmed Cash on Delivery orders are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically, so please reply promptly.
How long does delivery take?
Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM PKT (Monday–Saturday) are typically dispatched within 24 working hours. After dispatch, about 2–4 working days to major cities (Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi) and 3–6 working days elsewhere in Pakistan. See our Shipping & Deliveries page for details and charges.
How do I track my order?
When our courier provides tracking, we share it by WhatsApp, SMS, or email. If you need an update, contact us with your order number via [WhatsApp number] or contact@zarbafti.com.
Why should I let my perfume rest after delivery?
High-concentration fragrances can experience “Travel Shock” from heat and motion in transit. Please let your bottle rest upright in a cool, dark place for 24 to 48 hours after delivery before the first spray so the oils settle to their true depth and longevity. See the Travel Shock note on our Returns & Refund Policy.
Can I return a perfume I opened?
For hygiene reasons, opened or used perfume is not returnable unless it is damaged, defective, or the wrong item. Unopened sealed items may be returned within 7 days of delivery. Before opening a full bottle, try our Discovery Set and — when available — the 15% first-order welcome privilege for new subscribers. Full details are on our Returns & Refund Policy.
How should I store my perfume?
Keep bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat (for example, not on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car). Replace the cap firmly after use. After courier delivery, allow 24–48 hours of rest before first spray (Travel Shock).
Are Zarbafti fragrances authentic?
Yes. Zarbafti products sold on zarbafti.com and through our official channels are authentic. We recommend purchasing only from our website or verified partners we announce on Instagram @shopzarbafti.
Can I buy Zarbafti as a gift?
Absolutely. The Trilogy and Discovery Set make thoughtful gifts. If you need help choosing, message us — and please ensure the delivery name and phone number belong to someone who can receive a COD parcel if that is how you are paying.
Is there a first-order discount for signing up?
We offer a 15% first-order welcome privilege for new subscribers. When the offer is live, the privilege voucher is emailed after you join the list on our homepage. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for details and any stated expiry or terms. Privilege vouchers are not redeemable for cash and cannot normally be combined with other promotional codes unless we explicitly say so.
I have sensitive skin — can I wear perfume?
Fragrance can irritate sensitive skin. We recommend a patch test on a small area first and discontinuing use if irritation occurs. See the disclaimer on our Terms of Service. If you have a known allergy or medical concern, consult a healthcare professional before use.
