点评：A Warning to Pilgrims Buying Perfume Near the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah
I want to share my experience to warn other visitors and pilgrims about my purchase from Al-Fakhamat Al-Mutajaddida (الفخامة المتجددة), a standalone perfume shop on the hotel and shopping side opposite the women's entrance to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, between Gates 330 and 331.
Please be very careful if you visit this shop.
I purchased two small bottles, each containing 12ml of a very thick, dark brown musk oil. The seller described it as original Hajar Al Aswad musk, claiming it was exceptionally rare and exclusive, had been aged underground in a sealed metal container for years, and was used by prominent sheikhs.
The sales approach also concerned me. I was initially quoted 1,200 SAR for just one 12ml bottle. After buying some other perfumes and negotiating, I was offered two 12ml bottles for 1,100 SAR in total.
When I hesitated and said I did not have enough money, the salespeople encouraged me to say Bismillah and told me to take the perfume and pay later. I found this particularly uncomfortable. Religious language and apparent generosity should never be used in a way that makes customers feel pressured into an expensive purchase.
The oil had a very strong, animalic opening, followed by a deep earthy scent that softened into a warm musk. It was certainly distinctive, but the smell, thickness and longevity do not establish its ingredients, origin or authenticity.
I was given no receipt, ingredient list, certificate of authenticity or documentary evidence to support the extraordinary claims made about the product.
I cannot independently prove what the oil contains or whether it was genuinely aged as described. But I paid 1,100 SAR based largely on claims that I had no way of verifying.
What particularly troubles me is the apparent sales approach: very high initial prices, elaborate stories about rare and prestigious products, and persuasive language that can make customers feel they are being offered something extraordinarily special.
I am not claiming that every product or every salesperson is dishonest. I am sharing what happened to me so that other pilgrims can make informed decisions.
My advice is simple:
- Do not be impressed by stories of rarity, underground ageing or prestigious customers without evidence.
- Do not assume that religious language means a seller or product can be trusted.
- Ask for a receipt and written details of the ingredients and origin.
- Compare prices with other shops before agreeing to buy.
- Never let anyone make you feel obliged to purchase, regardless of how generous or persuasive they appear.
I visited Madinah for worship, not to spend a large amount of money on a product whose authenticity I could not verify.
I sincerely wish someone had warned me before I walked into this shop. I hope this account helps another pilgrim avoid the same experience.

翻译：给在麦地那先知清真寺附近购买香水的朝觐者们的警示
我想分享自己的经历，以提醒其他游客和朝觐者注意：我在 Al-Fakhamat Al-Mutajaddida（الفخامة المتجددة）这家香水店购买了商品。该店是一家独立经营的香水专卖店，位于先知清真寺女性入口的对面，地处330号和331号大门之间，周围有许多酒店与商店。
如果您打算光顾这家店，请务必小心谨慎。
我买了两小瓶香水，每瓶容量为12毫升，里面装的是质地浓稠、呈深棕色的麝香精油。卖家称其为原装的黑石麝香，声称这种麝香极为稀有且独一无二，多年来一直被密封在金属容器中埋于地下保存，且曾被多位显赫的酋长使用过。
这种销售方式也让我心生疑虑。起初，仅购买一瓶12毫升装的香水，对方就要价1,200沙特里亚尔。后来我又购买了几款其他香水并经过讨价还价后，对方才同意以1,100沙特里亚尔的价格出售两瓶12毫升装的香水。
当我犹豫不决并表示自己钱不够时。那些售货员劝我念“奉安拉之名”，还让我先带走香水，之后再付款。这让我感到极为不自在。宗教用语以及看似慷慨的举动绝不应被用来迫使顾客购买昂贵的商品。
这款香油的初调带有极为浓烈的动物气息，随后则转为深沉的泥土味，最后又渐渐转为温暖的麝香味。它的气味确实独具特色，但从其气味特征、浓度及持久度来看，却难以推断出其具体成分。来源或真实性。
我并没有收到任何收据、成分列表、真伪证明或书面证据来佐证关于该产品的那些夸张宣传。
我无法独立证实这种油里含有什么成分，也无法确认它是否真如描述那样经过了长期陈化。但我还是支付了1,100沙特里亚尔，而这一切都基于一些我根本无法核实的宣传话术。
最让我担忧的是其销售方式：起初定价极高，还编造出各种关于产品稀有性与尊贵性的华丽说辞。那种极具说服力的话语，能让顾客觉得自己得到了极为特别的产品。
我并非声称所有产品或所有销售员都不诚实。我只是分享自己的经历，以便其他购买者能做出明智的决定。
我的建议很简单：
- 切勿被那些缺乏证据支撑的“稀有性”、“私下陈酿”或“享有盛誉的客户”之类的说辞所迷惑。
- 不要以为使用了宗教类用语就代表卖家或产品值得信赖。- 务必索要收据以及关于产品成分和产地的书面说明。
- 决定购买前，先与其他店铺的价格进行对比。
- 无论对方显得多么慷慨或有说服力，都绝不要让自己产生必须购买的错觉。
我前往麦地那是为了朝拜，并非要花大价钱购买一个连其真伪都无法确认的产品。
真希望在我走进这家店之前有人能提醒我。希望我的经历能帮助其他朝觐者避免重蹈覆辙。
