Description
Middle Eastern perfumery has 4,000 years of history behind it. The fragrance community reduced it to a dupe chart.
Arabian Scent Files goes deeper. Every episode covers the houses, ingredients, history, and culture behind Arabian scent - from icons like Lattafa, Khadlaj, and Afnan to the gems the Western fragrance world hasn't found yet.
Not a review show. An education.
Hosted by Chizoba of Zoba's Scent Steals. New episodes monthly.
