VOLUME 2

Just months after its debut, Malaysian fragrance brand NBDY announces a landmark collaboration with a globally renowned Master Perfumer for its second chapter.

KUALA LUMPUR, September 2026: NBDY™ is preparing to enter its next chapter with NOBODY Volume 2, marking one of the most significant milestones for the young Malaysian fragrance brand since its debut in June this year.

At the centre of Volume 2 is an official collaboration with a globally recognised Master Perfumer with more than five decades of experience in the international fragrance industry.

The identity behind the collaboration remains under wraps for now.

But for NBDY, the significance goes beyond the name.

Having only officially launched in June 2026 with NOBODY Volume 1, NBDY is still in the early stages of its journey. Its first collection introduced the brand and its founding belief, “nobody is nobody”, to the Malaysian market.

Only months later, Volume 2 signals a considerably bigger step.

The opportunity to collaborate with a figure carrying more than 50 years of experience in global perfumery reflects NBDY’s intention to build beyond the expectations typically placed on a new local fragrance brand.

For NBDY, going global does not begin with geography.

It begins with standards.

It means learning from people at the highest level of the craft, creating with greater ambition, and proving that a Malaysian brand can develop work with relevance beyond its home market.

From Nobody to Somewhere Bigger

The progression also carries the same philosophy NBDY was founded upon: nobody is nobody.

Every established name once had a beginning.

Every global brand was once new.

And every significant journey starts before anyone knows where it will lead.

For NBDY, being at the beginning of its story is not something to hide. It is precisely what makes this milestone meaningful.

Just months into that story, a young Malaysian brand is already creating alongside expertise built over more than half a century.

“We are not trying to say we have made it. We haven’t. This is the beginning.

But every step matters, and this collaboration shows us what becomes possible when we refuse to put limits on where a Malaysian brand can go.”
