I have also been fond of french perfumes but after watching this video i have changed my mind

although i still have some french perfumes but now my trend is towards arabic scents (attars) and believe me what he is saying in video is 100% correct. The freshness of mind u get after apply Attar and that too OUD, u will never get from these french perfumes. I Bought a little expensive OUD attar from Ajmal and then i really came to know the benefits/ freshness created by its smell (same can be read from open source internet articles as well). What he is saying in video that initially u will feel it very strong but keep applying it for few days and it will create real Chaska for ur mind. So now slowly and gradually shifting from perfumes to attar.
One more reason people dont like attar is also explained in this video that we buy cheap attars. However the amount you spent on PERFUME, if you buy equal value high price Attar then you will be really amazed how good they can be.
