Dear Diary | 1448 AH | Day 4

Muharram 4, 1448 AH

 

I am a hoarder, I told you, right?

I like buying things, and I like not using things once I’ve bought them. The latest obsession is attar. This year, for preparing for Eid ul fitr, I ordered a set of 10, a set of 6, and a set of 2, 6 ml each, roll-on attar from three different brands.

Set of 10

The variety of this set is crazy. There are two that absolutely loved-the first two from left, and the rest are either too strong or too soft for me. I’m going to give to others whenever needed 🙂

Set of 6

This one’s alright, three variations of oud was all it took to “add to cart”.

Set of 2

The reason for buying this was somple: white oud. There’s something about this smell that makes me go, wow!

Another Set of 2

And then my brother gifted me a set of two spray on attar.

How many am I using, you ask?

Only two: Al Bayk and Blue Moon. White Oud, I gave to my dad; he loves the small. Only last week, I gave out to three my sister so at least it isn’t sitting on the shelf. I’d need a reason to buy more,right?

NOTE: This is part of “write one post every day for a year” challenge.
