Scientists from KAUST, Saudia Arabia have found chemical alternatives for agarwood perfume production using synbio
The study offers an alternative process for the $44 billion perfume industry that avoids razing trees in environmentally sensitive regions.

Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet?
The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left. All of the letters are consonants, since the vowels in Arabic are denoted by diacritics.
