Madini is a perfumer on Boulevard Pasteur that sells oriental perfume essences, oils and scented products, and is one of the best-known perfume shops in Tangier. Customers choose from essences such as amber, musk, jasmine and oud blends and can have them decanted into small bottles. Prices are fixed and displayed, usually MAD 50-600 (~$5.30-64) depending on the bottle size and essence. The shop gives visitors a reliable alternative to souk perfume stalls, where product origin is harder to verify. Staff speak French and some English, and samples can be tried on paper strips. Cards are accepted in most cases but opening hours should be confirmed locally.
