Secrets to the Arabian Princess Scent 💐🧴🪷

So with Arab perfumes becoming popular in the West due to their strong projection and beautiful smell, and the Arab world becoming known for our knowledge on how to smell good af, I (a half Moroccan) am going to reveal some other ways we ensure we smell amazing to the girlies on Tumblr who are interested in Arab perfumes or just in generally smelling amazing 😍 Most tips are Moroccan but many apply to the Arab world in general (under the cut because this turned into a long post) ✨💞💐

1) Good Eating Habits: When my mother moved here to Europe, she was immediately struck by how the people seemed to smell like "pig." And that's no coincidence. You are what you eat, so coming from a country where nobody eats pig to one where everyone eats it, of course you're going to be struck by people smelling like it from the inside out. Not just that, but in the Arab world, it's also way less common for people to eat takeout and drink alcohol, whereas in many parts of the West, these things are a normal part of many people's diets and affects their natural scent. A lot of Arabs have also talked about how Westerners smell like "milk," and this is because Westerners tend to consume more dairy products than people in the East do. It's also common for Arabs to eat fruit as dessert instead of having cakes or cookies all the time (although speaking of cookies and cakes, the scents of rosewater, orange blossom water, almonds, honey, vanilla, oranges and lemons commonly used in Arab baking fill up the house with a wonderful smell while they're baking). Teas made from various herbal infusions are popular throughout the Arab world. Spearmint, peppermint, sage, cardamom, cinnamon, hibiscus, chamomile, anise, and thyme are commonly used to flavor tea in MENA. Dried lime tea is drunk in the Arabian Peninsula. Coffee flavoured with cardamom is also common. I especially like Turkish coffee. Spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves are commonly used in cooking, and the scent of them can cling to your clothes and hair. Herbs like mint and parsley, which have natural deodorising properties, are often used in meals.

I'm not saying that you need to cut any foods out in order to smell good, but you should consider reducing the amounts of unhealthy foods and red meats you eat, and make sure to drink plenty of water and eat veggies and fruit daily.

2) Keeping a Clean House: Here in Ireland, a lot of people don't clean their houses every day. I know multiple people that only clean their floor once a week, and have a couple of neighbours who don't do much cleaning themselves and just have a housekeeper visit to clean once a week. But in Morocco, people clean daily. The home is also deep cleaned once a week, we even wash the walls. We don't wear shoes inside, and not just that, but we also have different slippers specifically for wearing inside the bathroom. Living in a clean space is important for smelling good, because no matter what you do, you'll always end up smelling like wherever you live due to spending so much time there. The scent will cling to your clothes and hair. Which means if your house smells dirty, you will also smell dirty.

As well as making sure the house is clean, Arabs also make it smell pretty with extras. For example, in Morocco it's common to burn incense or bakhour (perfumed wood chips), and the scent permeates your clothes. People also keep pieces of musk in their wardrobes (wrapped in a handkerchief). It come in scents like orange blossom, jasmine, amber, sandalwood, chamomile and lavender. An unused bar of soap or a sachet of potpourri in your wardrobe will do the same job though if you can't or don't want to buy musk. The musk can also be used as a scented wax melt, a home scent (you just leave it in a bowl), a body perfume (rub it on your skin), a hair perfume (rub on your palms and run through the hair), or to scent bathwater. Solid perfume made from natural ingredients has the same effect. I like Lush Rose Jam solid perfume, as it smells like sweet roses and Turkish delight, and a little goes a long way.

Specific to Marrakech, you can buy jasmine balls which you just leave around the house (if you're not in Marrakech, you can just leave potpourri or dried flowers and herbs in sachets on your desk, bedside table, etc). The Marrakech herbal shops also sell sandalwood bark which you burn. Oud and amber are also burned. Herbs like lavender are sprinkled under carpets and rugs so the scent rises as they're stepped on. Room sprays from brands like Nabeel are used, which come in a range of lovely scents (like the warm vanilla and oud Kanz or the rich floral Raunaq).

3) Personal Hygiene: In the Arab world, people shower daily. In Morocco, we also go to the hammam (public bath) once a week, and we sit in the sauna room, and then rub our bodies with sabon beldi (black soap), a natural soap made from olive oil and black olives, leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Then we scrub our skin with a kessa glove after it's marinated. Exfoliating dead skin regularly makes perfume cling to you better (if you order Korean bath towels from Amazon, they're very similar to Moroccan kessa gloves and you use them in a similar way). Then after washing our hair, we use a ghassoul clay mask (some people also rub henna into their skin). After washing the clay off, many people rub rosewater or argan oil into their skin before heading to the relaxation area to enjoy refreshments. As well as helping us smell good, it also makes our skin incomparably soft. When my parents were newlyweds, my father remarked on how he'd never felt a woman with such soft skin in his life before. My mother attributes it to regularly using the hammams before moving here.

Obviously not everyone has access to a hammam, but you can create a similar experience at home. Just sit in a steamy hot shower for 10-15 minutes, wash your skin with a natural soap and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing off and exfoliating with a glove. Then tone with rosewater and apply oil to your body.

Dukhan treatments (smoke baths) are practiced in Sudan. Married women and brides anoint themselves with oil, before sitting over a chair with a hole in the centre. Under the seat, there is a pit, in which acacia wood, frankincense, or other aromatic woods and resins are burned in a clay vessel.

As well as showering daily (and using the hammam regularly if you're Maghrebi), many people in the Arab world also perform wudu (ritual cleansing) five times a day before praying.

Women commonly apply Musk Al Tahara (white musk), an attar that smells like vanilla, flowers and soft musk on the external parts of their vulva after periods.

Alum was commonly used as a natural deodorant in the Arab world in the past, and some still use it today.

Bidets are also common in the Arab world. In the Anglosphere they're uncommon, but it's easy to get a portable bidet (a small squeezable bottle with a nozzle) online.

We also wash our hands before meals, with a pitcher of water which is passed around the room. In Turkey, they use kolonya, made from fig blossoms, jasmine, rose, or citrus to disinfect their hands. In Morocco, it's common for women to scent their hands with rosewater or orange blossom water after meals.

4) Fragrances, Lotions and Potions: In the Arab world, perfumes are incredible. They're oil-based, so they have excellent projection and longevity. The olfactory notes commonly used in them are beautiful too: delicate rosewater and orange blossom water, exotic oud, sweet amber, vibrant roses and jasmine. In Morocco, gardenia scents are popular, even among men.

Emirati perfumes are the most well known in the West and are super good. Some personal favourites of mine include Oud Mood by Lattafa (Caramel, rose, saffron, and oud), Fatima Pink by Zimaya (Sweet rose that smells like a bit like Turkish delight. it's a dupe of the French Parfums De Marly Delina, however, the actual Delina smells very similar to generic rose oil perfumes you can get in the Arab world to begin with so Zimaya was basically able to dupe it to a T. Their version lasts really long too), Ameerat Al Arab by Lattafa (jasmine, a hint of oud, slightly citrusy. Also the name means "Arabian Princess" in English), Fakhar Rose by Lattafa (sweet, fruity, and very floral) and Yara by Lattafa (floral, amber, vanilla and strawberry). I buy my perfumes from Dubai Perfume Shop in Dublin, but they can be easily found online. Some well-known Arab perfume houses include Lattafa, Al Rehab, Zimaya, Al Qurashi, Amouage, Afnan, Ajmal, Asdaaf, Al Haramain, Armaf, Kayali, Maison Alhambra, and Swiss Arabian, but there are hundreds more.

As well as sprayable perfume, perfume oil is also used. It usually comes in rollerballs or small containers, is inexpensive, and lasts for ages. Like spray perfume, it comes in a huge variety of scents. You can also put it in diffusers or add some to cotton balls and leave in your wardrobe to scent clothes and linens.

Arabs know when to wear perfumes. For example, a rich, sweet, strong oud and vanilla scent will be beautiful in colder weather. But in warm weather, it will become cloying and sickly. Musk, amber and saffron are popular in winter, while rose, orange blossom and jasmine are popular in summer.

In the Arab world, many stalls in the Medina sell gorgeous oils, fragrances and soaps that are inexpensive. For example, the musk I mentioned above. As well as making your home smell incredible, you can also rub it on your body and you'll smell good for days.

Rosewater is commonly used as a toner and to remove makeup. In the town of Skoura, where my great grandparents were from, men even use it to shave with! Orange blossom water is also used in Arab beauty routines in a similar way to rosewater. You can apply either to a bath for extra luxury.

Argan oil is commonly used in Morocco on both skin and hair, as well as the less well-known but just as good prickly pear oil (which is very high in vitamin E). Pure argan oil actually smells mild and not fragrant (similar to olive oil), but for beauty, things like rose oil and menthol are commonly added, so it smells pretty good. Throughout the Middle East and North Africa, jasmine hair oil, castor oil and sweet almond oil (I like putting it in my baths and on my body) are easy to find. Usually Middle Eastern and South Asian shops in the West sell them too.

Honey and almond masks have been used since ancient times, and to this day are still popular. You can buy them basically anywhere. Homemade face masks made from honey and yoghurt or crushed figs and yoghurt are also used.

Aloe Vera is used to treat dry skin, acne, and sunburns. It has a cool and refreshing scent, perfect for the hot climate in many parts of the Arabian world. I like applying it after shaving as it's soothing, natural, and absorbs easily.

Frankincense, a resin used in the Middle East and North Africa for thousands of years, was traditionally used as a natural perfume. It's commonly used in incense. Frankincense oil is also good for the skin.

There are many beautiful scented soaps available in the Arab world. If you go to Turkish or Arab supermarkets, a lot of them will have a section where they sell hygiene products, including soaps with ingredients like argan, rose and oud, and olive oil. I've even found Syrian Aleppo soap before. You can just buy soaps from regular stores in scents like rose, jasmine, honey and almond, orange blossom and sandalwood for achieving that exotic scent though.

As well as using various oils, perfumes, and fragrant beauty treatments, Arab women also know how to layer these different scents to add dimension to them and avoid clashing. For example, a rose perfume over a vanilla lotion will always smell good. Other combinations that are good include almond and vanilla, rose and oud, rose and jasmine, lavender and lemon, rose and orange blossom, and orange blossom and vanilla. But there are many different combinations you can use to achieve a delicious scent that's unique to you.

I hope this was helpful, stay pretty ✨

The Art of murder headcanon thing?

Giorgio's "hidden flaw" is that he's a gay character in his dating sim. His route isn't taken often in Ace Romance Detective Crimes Of Passion, because he's undatable. He's pinning for the most liked dating sim male, and will always break up with you eventually to pine after his love. He doesn't want the others to know he's gay. There creator gave up playing his game before she got to the part where it's revealed he's gay, and he's too ashamed to say anything. He's supposed to be a sex symbol for young woman. Probably expected to be attracted to the princess Almond Blossom. But in reality he's attracted to Sousuke. He's hiding in the closet. Afraid that someone will find out the reason he's unpopular in the game, and afraid they'll find out he's gay.

" Phyllis " //© The Garden Of Bob

In Greek mythology, there was a beautiful princess named Phyllis, who lived in Thrace. Phyllis fell deeply in love with a young hero named Demophon, the son of King Theseus of Athens. Demophon visited Thrace during his travels and was captivated by Phyllis’s beauty and kindness. The two young lovers vowed to marry and spend their lives together. However, Demophon had to return to Athens, promising to return for Phyllis soon after attending to some matters in his kingdom. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, but Demophon did not return as promised. Phyllis waited patiently and faithfully, but as time passed, her hope waned, and her heart filled with sorrow and despair. Believing that she had been abandoned, Phyllis fell into a deep state of grief. Unable to bear the pain of her broken heart, Phyllis retreated to the woods, where she wept and prayed for relief. The gods, moved by her devotion and suffering, decided to transform her into an almond tree. As her tears watered the ground, a beautiful almond tree with delicate pink and white flowers emerged. Just as the almond tree blossomed, Demophon finally returned to Thrace, remorseful for his delay. When he learned of Phyllis’s fate and witnessed the almond tree with its exquisite flowers, he was overwhelmed with grief and guilt. Demophon embraced the almond tree, pouring his heart out in apology for not keeping his promise to Phyllis. The tree, in response to his touch and words of sorrow, miraculously burst into full bloom in the middle of winter, signifying the renewal of love and hope.

The Art of The Murdered: Almond Blossom (C: 3)

"She's fast, I'll give her that," Giorgio muttered, standing and dusting his knees after realizing the little girl had swiped his wallet. "Pink hair, white bear hat... and a knack for theft. How does a kid like her get away so easily?"

Sousuke crossed his arms, irritation creeping onto his face "あなたが映画の警官みたいにレジ係に尋問するのを止めなければ、彼女を捕まえられたかもしれないのに。(Maybe if you didn't stop to interrogate the cashier like a cop from a movie, we might’ve caught her.)"

Before Giorgio could retort, they heard a woman's voice calling out, "Winn? Winn! Where are you?" The two turned toward the voice.

A striking woman with wavy brown hair tied into a loose bun and a sharp business suit was moving through the crowd.

Her eyes darted around in concern. Giorgio nudged Sousuke and pointed at her. "あの少女のいとこだと思う？(You think that's the little girl's cousin?)" he said "Wow, she really does look like Princess Almond Blossom!"

Sousuke raised a brow "そして、アルビーは自分の人生をしっかり持っているように見える。アルビーはウィンのような子供をどう扱っているのだろう？(And looks like she's got her life together. How does she even handle a kid like Winn?)" but Giorgio wasn’t listening.

His focus had shifted to a man a few paces behind Albie, blending too well into the crowd. He wore a gray hoodie pulled low over his face, but his sharp, watchful movements screamed suspicion.

"She's being followed," Giorgio muttered, his demeanor turning serious.

"Stay here," before Sousuke could argue, Giorgio was already weaving through the crowd toward Albie.

However, Sousuke didn’t stay put for long; he jogged after him.

"Excuse me!" Giorgio approached Albie, pulling her attention away from her frantic search.

She turned, startled but composed. "Can I help you?"

"Are you looking for a little girl named Winn? Pink hair, white bear hat?"

Her face lit up with relief, "Yes! Have you seen her?"

"We have, but there’s a problem," Giorgio said, keeping his voice low.

"That man over there—" he motioned subtly with his head, "he's been following you. Any idea who he might be?" Albie stiffened, her face losing some of its color.

"Nevermind, let’s focus on finding your cousin and getting somewhere safe," Giorgio cut in. "アルビーを連れ出す方法を考えないと (We need to get her out of here!)" Sousuke said, glancing back toward the man, who now seemed aware that they’d noticed him.

"Good idea," Giorgio replied "Lead her out of the mall. I’ll distract him."

"But—" Albie began to protest, but Giorgio raised a hand.

"Don’t worry. He won’t touch you or the kid while we’re here. Go." Sousuke nodded and gently guided Albie toward the nearest exit, making sure to stay out of the stalker’s line of sight.

"This way," he whispered, his voice calm but firm. Albie hesitated for a moment but followed, her heels clicking lightly against the floor. As they reached a quieter part of the mall, her phone buzzed.

"Who the heck is this" Albie said, pulling it out quickly.

"It's me from earlier, I'm surprised this kid memorized your number but I found her. She was hiding near the carousel at the ground level"

Another message was sent afterwards

"Also teach this kid that stealing is bad."

"We can’t go there directly. That guy’s probably figured out what we’re doing by now."

"He's not going to stop us," Albie said firmly, her voice steely.

Before Sousuke could respond, there was a heavy thud behind them, followed by a sharp grunt.

The stalker had caught up.

"Run!" Sousuke shouted, shoving Albie forward as the man lunged toward them.

Albie stumbled but quickly regained her balance, her heels scraping against the tiled floor as she dodged to the side.

"Out of my way," the stalker growled, swinging at Sousuke.

Sousuke blocked the attack, his heart pounding. He wishes he had his pocket knife with him right now "Go find your cousin! I’ll handle this!"

"Like hell you will!" Albie snapped.

She spun back, grabbing the nearest thing she could—a heavy metal stanchion used to guide crowds. She swung it with surprising strength, catching the stalker off guard and forcing him to stumble back.

"You’re not laying a hand on me or Winn," she said, her voice filled with defiance. The man recovered quickly, his eyes narrowing, but before he could retaliate, Giorgio came barreling in from the side, tackling him to the ground.

"遅刻だ！(You're late!)" Sousuke shouted, still trying to catch his breath.

"I had to make sure he didn’t have backup," Giorgio replied, pinning the stalker’s arms behind his back.

"Albie, get to Winn. Now!" Albie hesitated, her eyes flicking between Giorgio, Sousuke, and the restrained man.

"I’ve got this!" Giorgio insisted.

Albie finally nodded and took off, her determination clear.

Sousuke watched her go before glancing back at Giorgio "あなたはいつも物事をドラマチックに演出するよね。(You always have to make things so dramatic, don’t you?)" Giorgio smirked.

"Where’s the fun in doing things the easy way?" a few minutes later, Albie returned with Winn in tow.

The little girl clung to her cousin’s hand, her bear hat slightly askew and her expression wide-eyed but curious.

"Thanks," Albie said, her voice softer now but no less composed "but don’t mistake me for a damsel in distress. I can handle myself."

Giorgio chuckled "Noted. But it doesn’t hurt to have backup sometimes."

Sousuke sighed. "Can we go now? This mall is cursed."

Albie gave him a small smile. "Agreed." As they all headed toward the exit, Giorgio glanced back at the stalker, who was now groaning on the floor.

"Almost forgot something," he muttered.

The stalker tries to get up but the detective steps on his back to keep him on the floor, he bends down and handcuffs him "You're under arrest for stalking and physical assault."

The man let out a defeated groan as Giorgio secured the cuffs with a swift motion.

He struggled weakly, but it was clear he was done. Giorgio straightened up, wiping his hands off as if he had just finished a routine chore.

“Guess you weren’t as slick as you thought, huh?” Giorgio gave the man a cocky smile, his eyes cold.

Sousuke shook his head, looking slightly amused despite the tension "あなたはヒーローを演じるのが好きなんだろう？(You know, you really like playing the hero, don't you?)"

"Someone’s gotta do it," Giorgio replied, flashing a grin.

"Besides, the kid's safe now, and that's what matters."

Albie stood a little ways off, holding Winn close, her gaze scanning the area as though she still didn’t fully trust the situation.

“Let’s get out of here before the mall security shows up,” Albie suggested, her voice cutting through the quiet.

Giorgio, still watching the man on the floor, was about to agree when he noticed something in the crowd—a figure slipping quickly into the mall’s emergency exit. A shadow. It was the unmistakable movement of someone trying to escape unnoticed "What the?"

The stalker’s eyes darted up at Giorgio for a split second before he twisted violently, managing to break free from the detective’s grip.

In that instant, Giorgio froze, distracted for just a moment by the figure slipping into the distance. It was all the man needed.

Before Giorgio could react, the stalker was on his feet, darting into the crowd with surprising speed.

“No—!” Giorgio lunged forward, but the man had already vanished. "Did he just—?" Sousuke began, but his voice trailed off as Giorgio cursed under his breath.

“I lost him,” Giorgio muttered “Damn it.”

Albie’s eyes went wide, her hand clutching Winn’s a little tighter. "What happened?"

Giorgio snapped his head back toward her. “He got away. I got distracted for a second—he took his chance.”

“Are you kidding me?” she yelled out "How could you—"

"I know!" Giorgio snapped, his frustration mounting “But we can’t waste time here. We need to go after him.”

Sousuke's eyes flicked toward the exit where the stalker had disappeared. "ここに立っているわけにはいかない。彼は必ず戻ってくる (We can’t just stand here. He’ll be back for us.)"

"Right," Giorgio said, suddenly focused. “We’ll keep moving, stay low.”

Albie, clearly irritated, grumbled under her breath but fell into step behind them. They moved quickly, weaving through the mall’s labyrinthine corridors, trying to catch any sign of the man’s retreat.

Albie shot a glance at Giorgio as they passed storefronts. "How could you let him slip away?"

"I didn’t—" Giorgio stopped himself, clearly frustrated "I lost focus for a moment. I'm sorry."

They reached the escalators, and Giorgio’s eyes scanned the crowd. Then, a flicker of movement caught his eye again. The stalker was in the distance, just a few steps ahead, pushing through a crowd near the exit doors.

“There!” Giorgio shouted, already darting toward him.

"Stay behind me!" Sousuke called as he quickly caught up with Giorgio.

The man turned his head again, sensing the danger. His pace quickened, but this time, Giorgio and Sousuke were both closing in fast.

"Keep moving," Albie urged, holding Winn close as she followed behind them. "We can’t lose him again!"

But the stalker had a lead. He was pushing through the crowd, heading toward the loading dock at the back of the mall, where there were fewer people and fewer eyes to witness him slip away.

"Damn it!" Giorgio snapped, the man had already reached the exit, and before they could get close enough to stop him, he slipped out into the alley behind the mall.

"No!" Giorgio’s voice was filled with frustration as he slammed his fist against the nearest wall "We were so close!"

Sousuke sighed heavily, his face set in a grim line. "We can’t keep chasing him like this. He’s a ghost. And now he’s gone for good."

Giorgio was panting, a mix of anger and defeat crossing his face. He turned toward Albie, his voice low but urgent.

"I’m sorry. I should’ve kept a better eye on him" Albie’s gaze was sharp, but there was something softer in her eyes now “Let’s just go. We’ll figure out the rest later. That guy won’t get far.”

They quickly made their way out of the parking lot, but the weight of their failure loomed over them.

Albie's mind raced, knowing the stalker was still out there.

They’d lost a step, but it wasn’t the end. Not yet.

Yesterday in the late afternoon, I went to the movie cinema to watch the Super Mario Bros Movie 🎥 Buying tickets to head into the premium Director's Club to watch the aforementioned movie, because of the fact that it's like watching in an airplane business class version of a movie theatre 📽️ Here are several photos that I took, all while having a set of different Cookie Run characters to show up in the photo 🎀

Several of cookies that were all know and recognize are heading into the Director's Club to watch an upcoming movie! Each of them came in with their family and/or dates by their side, all excited to see an amazing animated film that'll start showing in about 30 minutes from now At the Movie Ticket Booth, Sparkling brought along his boyfriend named Vampire, and his father known as Earl Gray went to watch the upcoming movie together Espresso is asking to speak to the Cinema's Manager while Madeleine is oblivious to it Alchemist and Strawberry Crepe are simply there to see what movies are coming soon Moving towards the Snack Bar, Clover walks in with a suspicious cookie with the thought of having their little date Stardust and Kyu-Kyu are enjoying some snacks together and having fun like a lovable dad with his silly kid Princess and Pomegranate are having an argument with each other, and Cherry Blossom stares in an embarrassed manner And finally in the Director's Club Cinema, Almond walks in with his sleepy daughter named Walnut as a way to give both her and himself a wholesome father-daughter relaxation day, not knowing that Phantom Bleu (Rougefort) also popped in The polyamorous cookies consisting of Capsaicin, Kouign-Amann, and Prune Juice are also excited to be here, although the potion brewer feels like it's unnecessary to head here Clotted Cream is being cautious as he brought Custard III and Pancake to the movies for a family bonding, cautious since he doesn't want Custard Sr to show up And finally Dark Choco and Herb just arrived at the cinema, ready to have a lovable and fun time with everyone as they all watch the movie
