sara – surma is like…kohl pencil…eyeliner even
its made with local substances, and is used to line ur eyes.
kajal is the version of it used every day,

ittar is the arabic version of scent..it comes in little bottles with a stick for application – the only difference is, its not alchohol based like perfume.
rooh afza – is a drink, its one of those concentrates you mix in water. Its like a sherbet. it’s one of the nations favourite drinks, made with fruits and various herbs which is supposed to be very strengthening. tastes very sweet and pleasant to drink – has a hint of rose in it too
