Gazan vendors and business owners are using their creativity with new perfume

http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/The-scent-of-terror-New-dagger-perfume-available-for-purchase-in-Gaza-436527

The latest perfume trend in Gaza is a new scent being sold in a bottle shaped like a dagger, the Palestinian symbol of resistance in the latest wave of terror to strike Israel in recent months, according to reports by Alkahleej, a United Arab Emirates based media site.

In the face of an economic downturn, Gazan vendors and business owners are using their creativity in an attempt to encourage buyers and increase sales. The latest gimmick introduced to the market is the "Dagger perfume," an intricately detailed perfume bottle made out of a piece of glass in the shape of a blade with a silver handle and tip accented with red jewels.

According to one of the vendors who spoke to Alkahleej, "the fragrance is dedicated to martyrs," and is intended to help people remember the "value of revenge and continued fighting."

The Gazan vendor noted that the perfume was unlikely to sell in large quantities due to the high price tag.
