Arabian perfumes have long been alluring the world with their distinct fragrances and are now synonymous with ancient heritage as well as fine luxury.
With a history spanning more than 5,000 years, Arabian perfumes are steeped in exotic and local traditions.
Frankincense, an aromatic resin, is the main ingredient in making all Arabic perfumes. It grows on small trees and shrubs in Salalah in Oman and Somalia in Africa.
Long ago in ancient Arabia, Frankincense was traded for the world’s priciest items. The base in traditional Arabian perfumes is jasmine, amber, musk and oud.
The two popular types of Arabic perfumes are Oud and Bukhoor, apart from attars and pure natural oils.
Oud is naturally fragranced wood that can be used on the skin or burnt to let the smoke spread a smell in the house or on your clothes.
Bukhoor is a mixture of different fragrances which comes in round pieces that is burned in houses and shopping malls throughout the Middle East.
