    Belle d’Opium? BELLE D’OPIUM??? Surely that must be some mistake…

    Oh well, at least they gave a special award to Paris Gallery, a perfume chain that will always be important to me, on a personal level.

    Thanks very much indeed for posting this.

      Fifis only rarely go to what perfumistas would call excellent fragrances, so I’m sure it’s no mistake.

    This is off-topic here but my boyfriend is travelling to Dubai in two weeks and I was wondering if there are some affordable local perfume brands (ouds would be great) so I can ask him to bring me a little gift 🙂

      Al-Rehab are affordable, and Amjal is apparently very good (though more expensive). Of the four Al-Rehab’s in my collection, I love two. Hope that helps! 🙂

        Thank you very much for the info! 🙂
        I’ll have a look in the web to see the retailers.

          I would also definitely recommend Ajmal, and I’d also suggest going to the souks and just popping into any independent, non-branded perfume shops.

          Paris Gallery is also a retail chain worth popping into. They carry all the familiar ‘western’ brands, but it’s just interesting seeing a ‘local’ chain with slightly different attitudes to customer service. They usually offer you coffee and dates whilst you’re browsing and they can sometimes be more generous with discounts than the multi-national retailers.

            Thank you, Persolaise!

            I don’t know if my boyfriend will have time to go to the shopping centers, because he will be very busy (he’s computer consultant) but I will send him an email with the information, just in case 🙂

        Oh, Dee, what are the Al-Rehabs that you love? I looked at their website, after seeing a Katie Puckrik review of one of them, but it seems to have disappeared. Many interesting sounding scents, but it’s hard to choose.

    Hi Isa,
    recommend you bf to buy from some street rather than paris gallery as they are quite expensive and i can recommend Aroma House Perfumes its near Jumeira very reasonable and their services are good.
