Oh a fourth category, those that sell perfumes with actual naturals such as oud, misk, rose etc. Beyond just local traditions

Starting to become bleak in this regard in some parts of the old islamicate, you've got outliers like in Oman, where Sultan Qaboos was a heavy scent enthusiast himself and comissioned Anouage, which functions as a major player within the perfumery industry today
Amouage took Omani scent heritage and evolved it, taking the naturals of Oman and mixing them with the synthetics of the modern world
Then you have in parts of the Old Islamicate spread all throughout niche local perfumes that are rare, genuine gems to stumble upon
And lastly, you have those who basically just go all in with synthetic ouds, musks etc. all the high-sounding words that evoke a certain imagery, but in actuality just sell cheap synthetics repackaged & rebranded
A lot of the western "Islamic" online shops fall under this too selling "white musk" "red musk" etc. it's often pretty generic and bereft of beauty & creativity Imo

Certainly an option but if possible I'd like to develop understanding without relying on AI , I've been using it too much 🫠

oh then that's a not a viable option for the time being, I saw some quotations of Guenon on the SAIF blogs and thought it to be interesting, my interest went off of those given what was mentioned was understandable
I've only recently started getting into philo, specifically introductory works from the tradition & metaphysics from aristo otherwise likely nothing except understanding I might've picked up in pieces here & there, not systematic

I'd be interested in studying it, I was planning on reading it soon you figure I should give it a read first either way?

Yes, with no issues at all
JazakAllahu khayran, I really appreciate you checking in
However I still use amethyst at times, haven't made a complete switch to NoorNote just yet

I'm at that stage, I know that Nostr is somehow good, however I don't have a proper grasp around it.
Bitcoin I understand and thus have conviction of
I know parts of Nostr like it being decentralised, not being subject to the algorithm, those are enough to get me but overall I don't understand the foundation yet I believe
I wonder if I could for example sell products on here, I'm not sure what the Nostr community would think about that, generally I think I'm not fully in on it just yet

As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
I may need some help to get onto NoorNote, Nostr is still completely foreign to me so I'm not quite sure how to go about this:
The remote signer Idk what that is nor do I know about Amber, I already have a Nostr account but I'm not sure how to log in with it on NoorNote
Currently I'm using Amethyst, but I'd like to switch, if God wills it

He might need a push in the right direction, I remember when someone first introduced me properly into FOSS & Bitcoin, I got hooked right away simply because I did not know about these actual alternatives prior
