Maktub
The Arabic word maktub (مكتوب) means "it is written" or "destiny". It conveys the idea of fate or divine decree, often implying that you cannot miss what is yours, that what is written for you is meant for you in that no outer force could ever prevent or deter it.

Bismillah Babe develops home fragrances illuminating the intersection of mysticism and science. Inspired by the Sufi poet, Rumi, our fragrances are an ode to Divine order. Our ancestral traditions have long utilized the power of scent to "shift states", purify, and enhance. In fact, only in recent years has neuroscience caught up to ancient wisdom-confirming that the olfactory nerve being the shortest sensory nerve in your body & part of your autonomic nervous system-regulates unconscious processes such as breathing and your heart beating. As such, we believe scents & the sense of scent are a sacred portal to the dimensions within us and around us.
