Attar al Ghutra Swiss Arabian 2014

Do you know that feeling? You're just starting to explore new olfactory worlds. After years of Dior, Bruno Banani, and Jean Paul Gaultier, you discover Amouage, Tom Ford, and Arabic niche houses. I wish I had experienced this fragrance as one of my first "exotics." What my nose had to endure at first with Oud Wood or Tobacco Oud was a tough introduction. I also had to get used to Rasasi La Yuqawam, as the tobacco component can be quite challenging for untrained noses, and as a layperson, one is simply not accustomed to such scents.

Attar al Ghutra does it differently. Sweet berry combined with leather and tobacco in an almost perfect, sensual way. A very sweet berry note that remains present even in the dry down, helping the leather and tobacco develop their sensuality. I must admit, I love this fragrance because it contains an authentic raspberry note that runs like a red thread through the scent. Initially completely dominant, later it becomes more of a companion. As mentioned in the title, it feels like the sweet, lovely sister variant of LY. Anyone ready for something new and looking for a fragrance that has been crafted with high quality will find it here. Despite its uniqueness, the leather and tobacco are pleasant for everyone and very sensual. This is rather rare for scents of this kind. It has absolute niche quality! It could just as easily come from Tom Ford!
The bottle and sprayer are super high quality. The fragrance lasts a long time, but the projection could be better. People sitting next to you may not immediately notice the perfume. However, it is very suitable for "cuddle evenings" at home or a nice evening with friends, or even for a trip to the cinema, as the scent invites relaxation.
For me, the fragrance is definitely unisex, as I can easily imagine it on women or even on my girlfriend. It is NOT a masculine Tom Ford Tobacco Oud or anything like that.
However, for those who generally enjoy sweet fragrances and prefer the scent of berries, leather, and a hint of tobacco, I highly recommend this fragrance. For me, it is one of the best-crafted scents in my collection. Hats off!
