Lacks the Diffusive Spark of the Extrait
Inverno Russo Part II, Attar.
As for the Attar, this is the only composition in the set where I prefer the perfume over the pure oil. The scent profile is identical, but the attar, devoid of alcohol to push out the notes, lacks the gorgeous diffusiveness of the frankincense that makes this perfume special. It pushes off the skin the entire time with the spray version, while it is never present in the attar. It opens up lemony and balmy, but I never detect much smokiness. In the spray version, the frankincense drops like a veil over the composition, painting a beautiful pale-gray hue and a dusty-dry texture that I find incredibly addictive. For that alone, the extrait wins me over, and I much prefer it to the pure oil. Lastly, the latter seems to harbor more sweetness and creaminess, to my distaste.
