Selling fake oud oil, there are shops around the whole of Cairo doing this, it's a massive tourist trap and Iv seen them leading senior citizens into their shops, they put alot of pressure on you to buy their fake perfume oil and they do sometimes get physical pushing their fake product on you and saying give me money, they do this behind a closed door too, imagine a senior citizen alone locked in with a few of these guys, while they indimitmdate that person into buying something they never wanted in the first place, with their savings. If you walk around down town Cario or the markets, you will experience this, Iv had guys literally stalk me for blocks through the city on a few occasions in a short period of time, then approach me and try to befriend me, they will offer to take you for coffee and then ask if you would like to see real Egyptian Oud oil, if you agree you will end up in one of these shops, getting pressured into buying fake oud oil ( I bought this oil because, Abdul will probably feed his family with the money from his scam and I liked him ), If you try the oil, the scent will disappear after 30 mins, that's not oud oil, that's synthetic scent mixed with some random odorless oil, real oud oil will stay on your skin for hours if not days. That's the scam for those of you that don't understand.

I ended up hating Cairo for the scammers. Been twice, in different years, second time I had the exact same scammer try to take me to his sons/daughters perfume shop, not realising I remembered him from first time until I called him out...he quickly disappeared! They are bloody relentless.

I like the fact that you don't talk non-stop. It is nice to have breaks to hear the actual sounds of the market. The rubbish in the streets and gutters looks disgusting. There seems to be very few rubbish bins around. I guess people are too lazy to use them, anyway! Lots and lots of colorful and interesting shops and stalls... in a sea of rubbish!

DO YOU EXPECT TO BUY ORIGINAL oud FOR 50 POUNDS?

The perfume is a copy after Tommy Hilfiger and not tom. The only perfume ever has Tom in its name is "Tom Ford" which is way heavier notes while the Hilfiger is fresher and lighter. Watching this was ironic because back in Egypt I was a perfumer for more than 25 years (Beside my other study and work) and I had a perfumery that is still running in Giza till now. I totally feel angry as I respect perfuming as a "fine art" more than a business, that's why I never imposed a taste or a style on any person, unless they are willingly sense it and want it.

@sublimepinapple4352

Can you tell me where your perfumery is? I live in Giza and I would like to pass by because I really admire perfumery and I hate the way it is being abused in Egypt.

When I saw the bottle I knew it was fake because you know that agarwood is expensive and has different types

For the price of the perfume it’s very fair by the way 50 pound is fair price you could get tiny roll) for 20 pound and this is large one
