Inshallah, you will visit Taif one day soon.<br /><br />Hi Erin - Thanks! Remember, just a drop or two in drinking water!<br /><br />Hi Martha - I think the leftovers still smell a bit. I could smell the big pile outside, but there was a lot of it!<br /><br />Hi Louise - It was quite a pleasant scent and not overwhelming like one might think.<br /><br />Hi Pat - We've been here since Oct 2007 and we are here indefinitely.

Now I'm trying to catch up - you know how that is!<br /><br />Hi Tanya - Thanks. Thanks. Thanks!<br /><br />Hi Gutsy - Taif is about a 3 hr drive from Jeddah, to the south and east. The outside mulch still smelled pretty good! I believe that the oils are extracted for perfumes and it's a different process.<br /><br />Hi Renata - Gee, thanks so much! I'm flattered!<br /><br />Hi Mama K - Thanks - it's also great for making babies smell good too!Susie of Arabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315336613944665651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-13215901872546072942009-04-14T18:37:00.000+03:002009-04-14T18:37:00.000+03:00Hi Mel - Yes, you're right - rose water is often a...Hi Mel - Yes, you're right - rose water is often added to rice pudding - I love it too.<br /><br />Hi AMW - I remember eating rose petals when I was younger too!
