In 1925 he established a laboratory among the many perfume Shops in Khan El Khalili bazaar [and] in 1928 he moved into premises vacated by a century old perfumery and believing that providence had blessed him with the name of history’s great patron of fragrance ‘King Solomon’ he called himself “Ahmed Soliman Cairo’s Perfume King”.
