DAMASCUS: Syrian perfumer Mohammad al-Masri only only a single sniff of a fragrance to replicate the aroma of a luxury brand at a fraction of the price and without the label.
Daily, dozens of clients pour into his modest shop in the old city of Damascus’ market, many flashing images of expensive perfumes they want to copy on their phones.
The 55-year-old told that all he had was his shop and the nose he had been honing since he was 15 years old.”I don’t have a large shop or expensive equipment.”
