Sultan's oils blended by Laurent Smal
It all started with a mystery sample labeled XLXM, that led to bottle 1 of 40, continued with a restock bottle and stayed as one of my absolute favourites to this day.
I have been giving this attar some time to mature, wore it a lot and let my nose discover more and more of the beautiful facets of this composition.
The opening is an impressive subtle spicy, heavy middle eastern, sort of resinous saffron with the finest roses. Already at this point you can feel the mesmerizing effect that only aged ouds can have on a composition. The oud here is not off-putting or heavy at all, it's present, simply adding some magic to the heart note here. In the base, this scent then shifts to something warm, cuddly and inviting, where a generous dose of rare vintage, balsamic ambergris, orris and sandalwood and subtle sweetness from vanilla spoil the senses.
This is one for connaisseurs and is probably the finest perfume oil composition I own. Recommended if you see no issue in having your nose glued to your wrist where you applied it for hours.
