and 
to all my followers....mood: happy
craving: getting more of my Tom Ford
Everyone who knows me, knows I just LOVE perfume. I'm more than sure my mom was the culprit in it. LOL
When I got married my husband brought many gifts back from different Middle Eastern countries. Most of that was different perfumes and oils. I was whisked away by the smells of these Arabian perfumes/oils. I've never in my life smelled anything like it. I can't even compare it.
I find I love western/French perfumes (I can't live without them) but, these Arabian perfumes have such a different and wonderful smell to them, I can't really explain what the smell is. Y'all have to smell them to appreciate the beauty of the smell. I can go on and on and on... but, I'll stop and post some of my favorite Arabian perfumes. The bottles are fantastic and blow the western bottles away.
The one in the front is Fabulous . Wowwweee! It's a soft sweet smell. The other bottles are OUD oil and you have to get used to the smell. Arabs and Muslims alike always use this expensive oil on occasions like, weddings, Jummah (Friday), Ramadan, Eid's and other big occasions.
I know several non-Muslims who just love the smells and buy them. Very popular here in the middle east.
^ that is pure oud oil.. My husband mainly wears this stuff. If im in the mood I wear it. It's really strong.
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself.
The bottle on the far right is my favorite. I love it. It's a oud oil too.
Can anyone remember love? It's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. You might see a rose, but never the perfume.
Anyways, I'm sure y'all get the picture. I love my perfumes. I didn't even take a picture of all my perfumes, I'm sure they would never ever ever fit into one picture alone.
Which perfumes are your favs? I have Tom Ford and his perfumes are AMAZING!!!!! Tuscan Leather and Amber Absolute.. Wow! I can't stop smelling my wrists when I do whip that on. LOL
As perfume doth remain In the folds where it hath lain, So the thought of you, remaining Deeply folded in my brain, Will not leave me: all things leave me: You remain.
Well, I'll end this now... I would love to know your favorite perfumes/colognes.
final whisper: so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Assalam alaikum.
Mashallah you've got a lot of perfumes!!!!:X
I love perfumes too! When I walk into a perfume shop - want to buy them all!;)) But I have few perfumes at a time. I love to finish what I have before buying new ones. Otherwise I have a feeling like my perfumes are neverending and I get bored with all of them. When I had many perfumes I was giving them away. At the moment I have not more than...4 perfumes (two "french" in spray and two "arabian" in oil) Can't wait for them to finish to buy something new :) I can't name any names because I love too many of female scents.
From male scents - I love perfumes which dh uses from Abdul Samad al Qurashi the most.
as-salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah,
Mashallah for all your perfumes!!
I loooooooooooooove the Narcisco Rodriguez scent you have named "Musc for Her"
and you don't even use it do ya??? when is the last time you used it? come on now, hand it over to me NOW!!
I love that one because I love subtle scents Mashallah :)
Assalaamu alaikum,
So sorry I haven't been reading lately.
I love perfume too, but I don't have very many. I feel bad to spend so much money on perfume, so I buy like one each year.
My favorite perfume is Flowerbomb from Viktor & Rolf. I fell in love with it the first time I smelled it. And, it took me so long to just buy it because it's so expensive!
I do want to buy some of the Arabian perfumes from Asgharali or Rasasi in sha' Allah. I wonder if my mom would like them...
Heeeey Texan,
I honestly love your collection of perfumes, they look fabulous! I am as addicted to perfumes as you are, and I even wonder if it is not a little more;P
I love Arabian perfumes; they have this uniqueness about them. My favourite French perfumes are:
Coco Mademosille- Channel
Chloe
Stella-Stella MCcartney
Euphoria
Valentino-Rock and dreams
La Secret-Givenchy
Insolence-Guerlain
Hypnose senses-Lancome
There are many more but I cannot remember them all:D
Love you
