Across the Gulf, perfume is more than a luxury. Fragrance has long been part of everyday life, hospitality and religious traditions, with oud, bukhoor, musk, rose and amber remaining among the region's most recognisable scents.
That culture is showcased twice a year at Teeb Al Hazm in Doha, where perfume houses present everything from traditional oud blends to contemporary fragrances inspired by regional ingredients.
