If you want cheap aftershave go to Zara, they practically mimic the big brands but flog them off for £10-12 a bottle. I use a couple for work and in the car.

What about ‘Athr’(terrible limited scents when I was a kid)...Get some lovely scents nowadays

A few brands have been using ‘Oud’ the past few years

D&G made a version of their ‘The One’ with Oud in it...bad boy scent. Limited addition...I saw it at the Airport but not at any local stockists

I believe fragrances need to go with the person.

What I mean is many folk buy the latest thing or something which may smell good on another person, but it doesn't mean you will carry it the same way or it will be as good on you.

Maybe it's to do with some sort of chemical reaction or something, I don't know, but I believe you can have a personal fragrance that just suits you.

Yeah I have various athrs. Don't really use them much. Maybe jummah or something

Lots of street traders these days mixing them up to smell like famous fragrances

Yeah...they smell good but they don’t last long them watered down bottles. Proper stuff is oily and lasts for a fair while. My favourite fusion scent is a version of ‘Poison’...turn myself on smellin that shizzle

You get the classic fragrances in the West...your Dior’s, Ck etc etc with their trademark scents

In Eastern culture you get fragrances known as ‘Athr’, root ingredients are no doubt different and local

Some companies have fused the 2 recently to come up with some great smells that I’m familiar with
