My Indian friends used to rub in some very thick perfume oil called
Ood. It has the most wonderful, exotic fragrance! The scent of
the oil blends so well with the scent of hennaed skin that I wouldn't
think of not using it on my palms if they were hennaed.

It has an extremely strong fragrance and a little goes a long way. I
still have most of the 2 bottles I bought 20 years ago. It is made
from an evergreen tree, so I wouldn't be surprised if it has terpines
in it.

good

get
: lost because it sounded like an old wive's tale but it seems there
: might be truth in it after all (like many old wive's tales). How
: interesting! Must remember to keep my ears more open next time!
