Hare Krishna,
All glories to the Vaishnavas! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I'd like to gift perfume to the deities in the Hungarian Yatra. Are there any specific perfumes that Iskcon temples use?
Please give me some ideas to work with. :D
Thank you,
Your servant,
Gaura-Priya

Hare Krishna dear Gaura Priya Mataji, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You are very kind!
Perfume which contains alcohol is not used by Devotees in worship to Deities.
Alcohol is in the mode of ignorance and it attracts subtle living entities.
For Deities we use pure and natural essential oils which are sweet in taste (if one wants to know if it is true natural oil or not).
And usually they are costly. But in India we can find cheaper but still more costly than other chemical ones.
Your servant,
