Is there a problem with coming into Saudi with a few bottles of mens' cologne in your suitcase? I wouldn't normally ask such a question, but cologne is basically pure alcohol and it is Saudi, after all....I assume they make a distinction between different kinds of alcohol? i.e. drinking and non-drinking?

No problem. The problem won't be alcohol content (unless it's mouthwash/gargle), but smoothness and drinkability...

I can't see any problem bringing it in... every airport is full of duty free shops selling the stuff. And the locals put so much on that one can be asphyxiated in an elevator with a group...

I often buy Eau de Cologne in istanbulm and bring it in to KSA. It tastes so much better than Sediki.
