Archaic, artistic, beautiful
Attar is quite special even for Tauer fans - both in terms of size, concentration and the fragrant oils dissolved in oil instead of alcohol. Smellwise Attar is not a classic Oriental for me and is therefore not in line with L' Air du Désert and Au cœr du Désert: No existing sweetness, nothing superficially flattering and certainly not a crowdpleaser but still beautiful for me.
A classic fragrance course with a division into heart to base notes cannot be identified. Instead, different scent images are constantly changing and pushing themselves into the limelight - the most important ones for me are:
1. At least before Corona I travelled through India 1-2 times a year. In front of some Hindu cult temples (Palani for example) camphor dissolved in paraffin is burned and the scent often combines with the oily remains of the sacrificial offerings on stone. Probably my association with oil camphor is rather due to the cistus - the matching pictures of archaic temples with corresponding smells are at least able to trigger it in me.
2. An old cold wooden hut in winter. One enters the room and takes facets of resin, decaying wood, something slightly waxy and dusty. Natural oud is not listed separately in the fragrance - but I would suggest at least one oud addition 3. The jasmine. However, it is so weakly woven in that you can only guess at it from time to time. Not a flowery, playful, feminine jasmine, as you might get in Grasse, but rather a spicier, 'oriental' jasmine variant It should be clear that Attar is not a flattering everyday scent - at least I'm quite taken with Attar and its very natural fragrance components, although I miss the sweetness in the fragrance. From time to time it comes to me during the day - then it stays for 1-2 days without any problems. On clothes it stays for weeks. Art/Meditation scent.
