“Love is Blind Habibi” Fans Slam Simo for Insulting Nour’s Perfume as “Stupid”

The debut of Love is Blind Habibi occurred on October 10 on Netflix, featuring all nine episodes, which sets the stage for a compelling binge-watch following the release of Love is Blind Season 7. This latest iteration of the popular dating reality series offers viewers a unique glimpse into Middle Eastern traditions, cultural nuances, and social values.

In Episode 3, Nour, embracing Middle Eastern customs where perfume holds significant importance, presented Chafic with a book that had her fragrance spritzed on it while they were still engaging in conversations from within the pods.

Upon Chafic’s return to the men’s communal area, Simo sniffed the book and remarked negatively about the fragrance, dismissing it as “not nice”and labeling it as “a stupid perfume.”

Chafic defended the choice, stating that one should not judge a person by their perfume, later expressing in a confessional that Simo’s reaction stemmed from envy due to not receiving any such token himself.
