The Art of Seduction


I followed the scent of old spice, herb and wood fragrance, and found a perfume store at the shopping mall. The Indian shopkeeper invited me inside and asked me to try a little bit of everything listed on the shelves.
In the Arab world, wearing strong fragrance not only is a tradition but a weapon of seduction.


A blend of rich, exotic aromas from Rasasi perfume retail store located at the Deira Shopping Center lures many passersby. Fragrances come in different forms including the primitive perfume. It's aromas release when fire burns a certain kind of wood, herb or resin. The most common one is Agar wood.
It is not a luxury but a passion shared by men and women in the Middle East. The necessity of fragrance scents is seeped in local traditions.

The categories of Arabian perfume remain ambiguous to me as most perfume elements originate from India and different ingredients have been mixed to create unique and fusion fragrance after being exported to the Gulf region. The Arabian perfume oil for women and men cologne contain Indian agar wood, sandalwood, ambergris, spicy, floral and woody fragrances.
