From a Distant Window
Do not be afraid of your return home. Amber glows in the distant window, fire embers, a shimmering sea of lights, just a piece more through the harsh winter, the cold earth's breath is bitter, the sky above is ethereal camphor and smoke rises from the old chimney. You sneak past wooden huts, breathing in the scent of a beekeeping, where forest honey from warm combs full of propolis drips to the ground in heavy threads in slow motion. Then you approach the window, the glow, immersing your spirit through the resinous flakes, swirling grains, petrified, boiled down, dreaming of balsamic bridges with the bitter smoke from the chimney at your back, where dark salty tears of past oceans dry. Do not be afraid of inner reflection. You are still before the window.

Elixir Attar from Los Angeles claims to be constantly searching for high-quality raw materials from the Asian region. Allegedly, they also utilize long-established relationships in royal circles to obtain particularly rare materials. The small team relies on both traditional and modern knowledge in the production of their oil attars.
"Sacred Incense AlBokhoor Al Muqaddas" is a viscous oil that initially oscillates between forest honey-resinous, propolis-like notes (labdanum, styrax, myrrh, benzoin) and ethereally bitter (camphor) and earthy-herbaceous (spikenard) aromas, before it settles with the smoky-salty-herbaceous copal resin as a connection in their tension field, becoming increasingly drier, darker, and smokier. The labdanum plays a connecting role for me - alongside the copal - as all its facets (honey with the sweeter resins, wood with sandalwood, earth with the spikenard, herb with the camphor) come into play.
The dark, herb-resinous oil is initially expansive for several hours, later moderate, is meditative, evocative, and calming. A very special, magnificent incense scent.
