While we're on the subject of scents, here's a little secret.

The best colognes and perfumes in the world come from Oman and Saudi Arabia.

I learned this from my Navy days.

Hard to find in the US though but look here for starters:

Arabian Oud

Hmmm… I looked at your linked catalog. Some expensive items there. When wearing them, does the aroma evoke sweaty camel or drunken sailor? Just kidding about that. But I did learn something about oud resin.

I have an Arabian oud. It’s not a cologne though.

Oh my....how beautiful.

Hubby and I are olfactory polar opposites.

A good smelling man makes me weak in the knees. Anything other than vanilla and he says “it smells like cloves” 🙄
