This 167-year-old Saudi perfumer sells the premium smell of Arabia – the height of luxurious Arabian oud and musk. This little shop, under Royal Inn Al Nokhba and slightly away from the chaos, is the quietest of the three ASQ stores in Medina. A bit of calm is probably important if you're about to spend upwards of SR240 for a tiny bottle of oil.
