Scents
Quick blog, inspired by Zaydoun's comment of dihn 3ood in summer and my insistence that its fall (even though its 50 C outside). I got out my colder weather oils and perfumes and dabbed a nice oil mixture (Al-shaye3's khal6a mu3ataqa, KD 130 per tola). Then i saw Fawah's perfume & sprayed some on my wrists too.
Fawah is an amazing shop in Jeddah & Riyadh, owned by umm forgot her name, but a nice Saudi princess. She mixes her perfumes at home and sells them at Basateen. Each mix has a number (which makes you want to own the whole collection like a deck of cards). I am using 'Duna' (forgot the number, but roughly SR 2500 per tiny spray bottle, but all u need is a spray to smell fabulous). I would imagine her sexiness, Balqees (Queen of Sheba) would wear it if she had it too. Next month (when its 40 C) i would mix the afore mentioned scents with bukhoor and Lalique.
Alright, interest rate is going up .25% tomorrow, stock market is down and i'm blogging about expensive Arabic scents. Yes i do see irony in that. If the stock market continues to go down, i will probably go on a shopping spree in Paris. Don't ask for logic please.
So whats your favorite perfume/scent?

Mcdonalds fries ...crop of 1985 - London
Scent of a fresh KitKat...not the crappy ones sold here..but the fresh just left the factory kind
The Aroma when you open the box of Macintosh tin box I love the coconut green one.
The smell of a freshly powdered baby - quick true story Vegas biggest casinos use fresh baby scent to make the elderly feel at home and relaxed..thus spend more cash
The first time I smelled Cinnabuns leaving their oven. So addictive...
Worst smell known to man : the smell of Henna!! YUK..mix it with coffee...whatever..still SINKS!!

I love the smell of the fish market. I swear I do!
I also love the smell of fresh ground coffee, even though I don't drink the stuff. I like the smell of lavender, but not on me
I re-emphasize my comment about "dihn 3oud". It stinks in hot humid weather, but is nice in winter mixed with other oils. And it should be used in moderation mixed with bukhoor (i.e. just a dab) not splashed all over like شيوخ قطر
My signature scent? I like simple stuff, not something you can smell a mile away.
I avoid the Cinnabon corner if I'm hungry. It makes my head spin.

Zaydoun, try the lavender range (Linen spray, candles, etc.) from l'occtaine. I LOVE THAT SHOP & you must try Fawah (KSA).
