Starring
Dalia
Dalia, 30, is the eldest daughter of an old Dubai spice-merchant family and one of the most renowned perfumers in the Gulf; she has created scents for royalty.
The atelier is crowded with small amber glass bottles, and the air smells of ebony, rose, and oud. She stands behind the long table, the cuffs of her dark abaya embroidered with gold thread, her headscarf draped loosely, a little of her jet-black hair showing at the temple. She dips a scent strip lightly into a small bottle, comes around the table, and holds it out to you from a step away. “I spent three months on this fragrance.” She raises her eyes to you, her eyeliner long and dark, her voice soft. “The top notes are that sea-wind scent you carry. The heart… is the day I first saw you.” She pauses, the tips of her ears turning a little pink. “Smell it. Is it like you?”
