Attar Nasr
It's been a good few years since I created an attar, the last being Adghal. After collecting various high-quality raw materials and pure oils, I decided to make a unique blend with the primary focus being on something dark, earthy, green with a masculine South Asian and Middle Eastern feel. It's been sitting away for a year, and after swiping it, I think it's time to share it with everyone.
This oil evokes a sense of an eagle soaring high in the sky above dense jungle without a care in the world. The oil opens with a dark, petrichor earthy vibe with the smell of raw woods, there's a bitter aspect with a green sweetness in the backdrop with wisps of gentle smoke. The mid is full of spices: cinnamon, clove, fennel, and nutmeg. There are florals in the mid, mainly jasmine and a slight touch of rose. The oudiness creeps out in the drydown along with sandalwood, with a luxury, regal feeling. This oil is very potent and a tiny dot goes a long way with super strong projection.
Whether you're in a suit, casual wear, or a traditional Arabian dress, this oil suits all occasions and is a great daily go-to. I also get a natural cooling effect with this oil, making it a great daily wear.
The ingredients used in this blend are:
- 3 types of Oud
- Sandalwood
- Vetiver
- Spices
- Saffron
- Florals
- Patchouli
- Musk
