1. Perfumes (Spray or Eau de Parfum)

Best for: Daily wear, casual or formal occasions

Steps:

• Apply after showering: Clean, moisturized skin holds fragrance better.
• Target pulse points: Spray lightly on your wrists, neck, and behind the ears. The warmth helps release the scent.
• Don’t rub: Rubbing breaks down the fragrance molecules and makes it fade faster.
• Layer if needed: Use matching lotion or body oil to boost longevity.
• Refresh as needed: Light sprays on clothing or hair can extend the scent.

Pro Tip: For a softer aura, spray in the air and walk through the mist.

2. Oil Perfumes (Attar or Concentrated Oils)

Best for: Long-lasting wear, subtle and personal fragrance

Steps:

• Use the applicator: Dab a small drop on pulse points — wrists, behind ears, and collarbone.
• Warm the oil: Rub wrists gently together to activate the scent.
• Be mindful of concentration: A little goes a long way; these are potent.
• Moisturize first: Applying on slightly damp or moisturized skin enhances absorption and longevity.

Pro Tip: For hair fragrance, dab a tiny drop on your hairbrush and comb through.

3. Oud (Wood Chips or Bakhoor)

Best for: Special occasions, home fragrance, or layering with perfume/oil

Steps with Traditional Burner:

• Prepare charcoal: Heat a charcoal tablet in a mabkhara (oud burner) until glowing.
• Add oud chips: Place a small piece of wood on top. Let it release its smoke slowly.
• Scent your clothes: Carefully waft the smoke under your abaya or outfit for a few seconds.
• Perfume your space: Let the scent fill your room for a luxurious aroma.

With Electric Burners:

• Simply place the oud in the tray and switch on — a safer, smoke-free option.

Pro Tip: Layer your oil perfume or spray after an oud session — the warmth of the oud enhances the richness of your scent.

Layering for a Signature Scent

• Start with oud smoke to scent your clothes.
• Apply oil perfume to pulse points.
• Finish with a spray perfume for projection.
  This layering creates a rich, long-lasting, and unique fragrance trail.
