I put my nose over a copper jar in which was PS8,000 worth of attar, and the smell was so powerful as to be disgusting and productive of headache.

This was the famous citadel of the Turks, which fel... Francis Whiting Halsey, Books, Travel, Seeing Europe With Famous Authors (volume 10) Books>Travel, General Books LLC<
