7 Wonders of the Emirates, the newest perfume collection from ScentStory, (creators of the “24” range of fragrances) has sought inspiration purely from the UAE. The collection also sums up the bio-diversity, and scents from each of the 7 Emirates.
Actually, the perfume range is out just in time for the 45th celebrations of the UAE unity. Allow me to explain further, and why this is a big deal. You see, UAE is a country of many ‘firsts’ and world records. It consists of 7 Emirates (Dubai is one of the emirates and Abu Dhabi is another, and no, Dubai is not a country) with contrasting landscapes.
Some of the amazing features range from the towering red dunes of Liwa, the rich palm-filled oasis of Al Ain and the precipitous Hajjar Mountains; to the more fertile stretches of the coastal plains.
