A couple of streets of small perfumers selling oud oils, attars, bakhoor and the pale sandalwood that Emirati households burn; the sellers let you smell, compare and have oils blended to order, even copying a scent you bring. Calmer than the Gold Souk next door, and the place to understand why fragrance matters so much in Emirati life.
