Doha: Authorities have ordered bottles of perfume pulled from the shelves of a lingerie store after the name of the product — “Victoria’s Secret: Strawberries and Champagne” — was deemed offensive.
Perfumes as well as creams and a body mist product were all removed from the shelves at one of Qatar’s main shopping centers, the Landmark Mall in Doha. The economy and commerce ministry said on Twitter over the weekend that the products went against the “customs, traditions and religious values” of Qatar. An employee at the store told AFP that the products had been removed on Saturday “because of the name,” suggesting that a complaint may have been made to authorities.
