Scents Culture in Middle East:

Unlike in many western countries, in the Middle-East countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and more, using traditional scents is consider as much sacred and preferred by the most.

Attars are highly demanding in these nations as they are alcohol-free form of perfumes and most of the middle east countries have majority Islamic audience that prefer alcohol-free fragrances.

The Arabian Affair:

From the ancient time, People in middle-east have been using mesmerising scents that are produced from Oud, sandalwood, amber, musk and roses..

Oud, a signature fragrance that represents the luxury class comes at a price higher than pure gold. Some even refer Oud (Agarwood) as liquid gold.

Oud is not just a perfume – the signature Arab fragrance of oud (Agarwood) symbolizes luxury, class, power, and heritage.Similarly Bakhoor, Shamama, Mukhallat are among other top demand attar perfumes in middle eastern territories.
