Ulaanbaatar, Arkansas
Years ago, you left the highway. You gradually forgot the people there. Your hands washed in wooden tubs with the last piece of soap made from geraniums and mosses. Now your eyes wander into the vastness of the steppes, behind dancing spirals of warm spices baked in the sun, crumbling into dust, and bundles of withered lavenders. Sometimes you sweep away the eternally smoldering, almost well-blown clove sparks from the cracked spots in the thirsty soils, where today only hay bales sway before the glowing wooden gates to the barns. There you now step in. Into the tones of evening light drapes on soft light brown tobacco leaves, the spicy Virginia varieties that hang down deeply from the ceiling. They carry dark resinous pearls that drip like honey into pheromone trails, from deer that once inhabited this steppe, and whose traces rise and fall in the haze. Time has stood still out here.

Elixir Attar from Los Angeles claims to be constantly searching for high-quality raw materials from the Asian region. Allegedly, they also utilize long-standing relationships in royal circles to obtain particularly rare materials. The small team relies on both traditional and modern knowledge in the creation of their fragrances.
"Ulanbataar" approaches the fougère theme in a very classic way, as it unites all the typical building blocks, namely hay-like lavender, bergamot, rose geranium, and an earthy base, usually oak moss, which is replaced here by patchouli. However, the main character of the scent is clearly the spicy tobacco leaf, whose notes dominate from beginning to end. It emerges from a whirl of dried, straw flower-like spices, briefly revealing the soapy fougère accord underneath, before cloves come to the forefront, making the tobacco appear sharper and more angular. The guaiac wood also contributes a glowing woody note at this stage. Soon, various resins (mainly opoponax, amber) lay like robust honey under the soft tobacco leaves, while earthy (patchouli) and sweeter coumarin hay notes (tonka) become more prominent, carried by warm, hazy deer musk. A wonderful, above-average long-lasting and clearly to moderately projecting, very spicy and increasingly balsamic scent of a tobacco barn somewhere in the solitude of a vast steppe.
