OUD & BAKHOOR

There was once, a woman, wearing a full veil of Mosul silk, tasselled with gold and turned with rare brocade. She stopped before a young man in the city of Baghdad as he was leaning idly against his basket in the market. She raised the veil a little from her face. Above it there showed dark eyes with long lashes of silk and lids to set a man dreaming. Her body was slight, her feet were very small, and clear perfection shone about her. She said, and oh, but her voice was sweet: ‘Take up your basket, porter, and follow me. The beautiful lady stopped at the stall of a distiller of perfumes and bought ten sorts of waters, rose water, water of orange flowers, willow flower, violet and other kinds; she bought also a spray of rose-musk-scented water, grains of male incense, aloe wood, ambergris and musk; finally she selected candles of Alexandrian wax and put all in the basket, saying: ‘Lift and follow!’ Obediently the porter took up his basket and followed the young lady until she came to a splendid palace, having a great court set in an inner garden; it was tall, magnificent and foursquare, and the door had two leaves of ebony, plated with plates of red gold.

If such names like "grains of male incense, aloe wood, ambergris and musk" and many other of similar names are foreign to you, we don’t blame you, but if you scroll down a bit, you will learn a lot about them and we have no doubt that you will love to have them around you for your own unrepeatable moments with the beloved ones.
