Cheval d'Arabie Sultan Pasha Attars 2020

Cheval D'Arabie is another attar from Sultan Pasha that next to Aurum D'Angkhor, feels larger than life. Pure Middle Eastern blend of Jammy Rose and Hindi Oud with a few twists like the addition of Hay and Narcissus among a few other touches. I don't get a very textured leather accord in here, but I get why it's called "Cheval", hinting at the beautiful Arabian Stallion. The pairing of Hindi Oud, Narcissus, and Hay creates a prominent stable-like impression, and the heavy musks in the base take the idea of a four-legged beast to fruition. As a matter of fact, I find the oud in here not as prominent as the other mentioned notes, which seem to overtake it. The rose accord is big and sweet, lush, as in all Sultan's compositions. The hay pairs brilliantly with the narcissus as they do share some facets. It appears to me that there is a green facet in here, maybe from the use of hay and chrysanthemum. The oud is there but never the main player. The leather accord is built around the oud, musks, and narcissus. Perceivable yet softer than expected. This attar packs a punch. It is incredibly strong and lasts forever. It sure has plenty of horsepower. It will cut through the highest temperatures of the desert and the camel smell.
