perfume, a specialty of the United Arab Emirates "perfume belongs to Arabia". This is not just a mysterious perfume legend, but a true description of the subtle atmosphere of this mysterious place. In Arab homes, the custom of burning incense has been practiced for generations. Sandalwood Perfume also represents the host's heartfelt welcome to the guests from afar. Especially when the female guests come or travel, they will stand in front of the fragrance discharge device and gently lift the smoke with the cloak covering the outer layer of the clothes, so that the fragrance can spread all over the body it's true to say that the UAE is a real perfume world. In any public place, you can feel the strong smell of perfume. The clothes here are fragrant, the air is fragrant, and even the warm wind will make you feel like a French perfume manufacturer. In fact, most of the perfume here comes from France, but the prices displayed by different brands range from a few hundred dollars to a bottle of Dila thumb (one Dila thumb is equivalent to a little more than 2 yuan). The prices vary greatly. However, no matter whether you are walking in the crowd, it is not important whether all you smell is fragrant wind. What is important is a psychological need reflected by them. Here, you have every reason to think that it is natural for people with status to use expensive perfume, and it is also natural for workers and grassroots people to use cheap but not necessarily beautiful perfume. Life seems to grow in order. In my working environment, the fragrance of modern girls and elegant young men is not easy to smell. The smell of "toilet water" emitted by the workers is so dense that they can be grasped and played with. Generally, workers have two sets of clothes before and after work, one with perfume and the other with sweat. People who think they have a little status, such as foremen, but perfume never stops on their bodies, and from time to time they spray spray all over their bodies. But because of the price, it is less refreshing and more goose bumps. In fact, I have no feelings for perfume. I'm a local man. If I have ten tips, I have nine tips. I don't know anything about it. So if I want to make a comment, it's all subjective and easy to offend people. So I don't say anything at all. When I have nothing to do, I often pretend to be an elegant person and visit perfume shops. I look very old-fashioned and smart. In fact, it's just that Liu Laolao enters the Grand View Garden for a pleasure. Regardless of the smell of perfume, the dazzling bottles and jars have produced an extremely beautiful effect on my vision, which is extremely pleasing to the eye, and quite like the taste of the ancients who sold pearl. Because of the need of work, I often go out to work in different cars. I can smell different perfume almost every time. It's just that after bathing in the fragrant river for a long time, the sensitivity of smell has decreased, and the smell is mostly good and bad. The driver often asks how he feels. As long as he doesn't get goose bumps, he will perfunctorily say "very good". Once, a car owner took out a piece of perfume the size of a snuff bottle from his pocket and sprayed it on my hand. He asked me to rub it with my hands and then put it on the back of my palm. At first, I didn't care. After returning to the company, the employees rushed like hungry cats smelling the fishy smell. Only then did they know that they had met the "noble man". Later, it was discovered that the flavor was meaningful and could not be washed away for three days. I could not help but secretly wonder. Another time, an employee of the new factory became a small foreman by chance. He didn't care much about perfume in his daily life. He started to fight in his hair room, under his armpits and in his beard. But the smell was really bad. The fragrance turned into a "cold", which made me catch a cold. I couldn't help but suggest that he should stop it. When the salary was paid, he simply put some blood on it and rearmed himself. After listening to this, he made a bold face and angrily left with a golden face. Not long after, I found that I was also covered with peculiar smell. When I smelt it, it was like a smell of shame. I could not eliminate it by many methods. Later, I inadvertently found that the strange smell was not in my armpits, but in my sweatshirt. After a careful review of the foreman's perfume, I realized that I had been "plotted" by someone. What a gentle knife

The general answer is Ireland, because the per capita consumption of tea in that country has been maintained at a high level of more than 3kg for a long time, and other countries seem to be no better.
