Bint El Sudan


You may never have heard of it, but Bint El Sudan is one of the best selling perfumes of all time. An estimated 5.7 million bottles are produced every year, mostly for the African market. It actually originates from East London and was formulated by W. J. Bush and Co. In the USA it was marketed as "Africa's famous love fragrance" and many men continue to wear it as an aphrodisiac.

Censored version!
Sudan has a rich heritage of developing fragrances, mostly based upon musk, ambergris, sandalwood, frankincense and myrrh. Bint El Sudan combines a whopping 48 essences to produce its distinct (and in my opinion sublime) scent. These days it often comes in 'politically correct', censored bottles. But I picked up the topless version at Original Products, Unit 8, Market Row in Brixton.
