If you’re looking for something different to gift to a loved one this Eid — or just need an excuse to spoil yourself — consider creating a custom-made scent.
My Perfumes has launched its latest concept called Otoori, which allows customers to mix and match between different aromas to create a signature fragrance. They can choose from floral, fruity, spicy, and oriental essences. Deep in the Wild, Hide and Seek, and Eccentric Behaviour are some of the brand's perfumes on offer that can also be used for the Otoori mix-and-match concept.
“This new concept of Otoori is aimed at helping people discover their true self and take back their signature scent instead of something that is being used by millions,” says Mustafa Firoz, managing director of My Perfumes. “Being unique is being classy and that’s the feeling we want our customers to have.”
A 50ml bottle costs Dh395, and customers can indulge in Otoori at all My Perfume retail locations in the UAE, including Al Wahda Mall in Abu Dhabi and Barsha Mall in Dubai. Stores are also opening soon in Deira City Center and Dubai Festival City.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
