3 weeks ago I was going to start a thread on "My favourite fragrance" then opted out because I feared the sisters would take part and things could lead the wrong way. But itr/Attar is an excellent way of doing it. In fact just a few minutes ago I had the same thought as my daughter said y hand smelt nice but different. (some guy at the mosque wiped his bottle over my hand, couldn't refuse either due to the Sunnah.)

Not much of a fan of itr, but love Bakhoor and oudh bakhoor.

Otherwise, for me it's copies of original fragrances or the original fragrance itself.

Got plenty and had then for years, just don't seem to finish.

My all time favourite is a copy of Opium by YSL. I have never come across the same type ever again, all rubbish. I still have mine and its over 15 years old. I just need to touch the lid and the smell lasts for days after wiping it on my clothes. But I still have the original opium eua de parfum, awesome.

Nowadays local sellers in India, dilute the attar for earning money.

My friend got it delivered from Pakistan, Darul ifta, Nazimabad I believe from Mufti Rasheed Ahmed Ludhyanvi's students (i doubt he would've sent it).

He had tons of bottles. Alhumdulillah he filled a small bottle for me and I've had it since 1995.

The perfume is so old and thick, that the roller has been made stiff. So all I need to do without shaking the bottle, is put my thumb/palm/finger on the roller and that's it. The smell stays for ages.

In fact once I had out it on my topi/hat which was made of leather and six months later, my cousin came and asked what the fragrance was that I was using, I took my hat off and gave it to him and told him it was opium that I had put on there 6 months ago.

Beautiful, MashaAllah.

My wife loves it to bits too, so I have to be careful when I wear it.....

I think the purpose is to beautify yourself with a fragrance, but I can't answer your question Daywalk3r.

I have plenty of different ouds but not all of them the itr type. Most are designer fragrances from reputable stores in London.

Oudh has become more of a fashion in London.

I was once having my hair cut and a couple of French guys came in the shop to sell their bottles, they smelt very nice and were very expensive too.

Places like Selfridges, Harrods etc, they sell Oudh for a lot of money. Also, the "Arabian Oudh" shop in London's Oxford street and some shopping malls has made oudh even more popular.

The best deal I got was �6 for a 100ml bottle of Oudh from another high street store called Beauty Base (Pakistani owner) but sells all original fragrances.

salaam

i have always wondered if it is justified spending HUGE amounts of money on specialist ittars and then claiming it is for the sunnah. i know of people who travel to different countries in order to seek out certain strains of ittar - and people who have an ittar collection but never actually use the ittar as it is too expensive! isnt this extravagance?
