Bought it just yesterday in Vienna duty-free shop! There were all of these scents available. Thought I'd pick VIE, but it sounded tooo sweet and generic. Also BUD was pretty interesting. Anyway, the bottles looks marvelous!
Since I live and study in Turkey, it's must for me to buy it as souvenir.
I'm too interested about the smell of Istanbul. I've already guessed in my mind; friendly!
Istanbul is really marvelous! If you haven't been there don't lose it specially in May and June!
I guess it must be something between Arabian and European taste of perfume. Ottomans used to be the link of Middle East and Europe during their dynasty. It was one of the most important merchandise points in northern Middle East, and always was important because of four sea around it.
Please!
