I don’t immediately associate Afghanistan with perfumes or even aluminum bottles.
So I was intrigued to read about the launch of Kabul Aoud, a high-end perfume created by Montale Perfumes. It is made with essential oils from cedar, guaiacwood and aoud, which is a resinous wood that is quite rare and a target of poachers.
The aluminum bottle is a beautiful black. As we all know, aluminum is superior to glass in protecting against sunlight.
Searching on Amazon, I found some of Montale’s perfumes retailing at $210 for a 3.3 oz. bottle. That’s almost $64 an ounce!
If you read my previous post on how to store perfumes to make them last, then you should probably stick this aluminum bottle in the refrigerator.
