J&S Saleh Yadgar Perfume Oils

J&S Saleh Yadgar of Bahrain, Perfume Oils are not the actual designer perfumes, they are renditions (copies/versions) of the popular designer perfumes.

They are made with high quality essential oils and may smell quite close to the actual designer fragrances. They do not contain alcohol, as this is forbidden (haram) according to Islamic law.

I regularly see these and similar Middle Eastern and North African perfume oils listed on ebay and craigslist. Usually the people selling them are not aware that they are NOT actual designer perfumes made by the actual designer companies.
