Hello all. Some of you will know me from the Logar rose thread.
Both materials here I sourced from the land myself. The rose I picked alongside the growers in Logar at around 1,950m and stayed through the distillation. The saffron is a Super Negin lot I selected at the farm in Herat, tested ISO...
I wanted to open a discussion and hear everyone’s thoughts.
When working with high quality natural materials such as oud oils, rose, sandalwood, resins, florals, musks, etc. how do you feel about using very small amounts of modern synthetics purely for structure and performance?
I’m not...
Dear Ouddict,
Last week I was in the rose fields of Logar, Afghanistan, nestled among the foothills of the Hindu Kush during the Rosa damascena harvest. I had gone there curious about the Afghan rose after hearing good things about it over the years, but smelling it directly from the branch...
Assalamu alaikum people and Jummah mubarak.
Tis the season of Rose (I plan to go for umrah on the 10th of June - would the rose picking season still be in place?)
I really like a rose/oudh combo and so far got this in my basket
Am I being silly trying to add another $500 worth to get the last...
I will be travelling to the far east soon and will be transiting in Singapore for around 11 hours during the day. Please let me know if you have any recommendations of sellers of artisanal perfumes, natural attars and good quality oud.
Greatly appreciate any advice and tips!
Hello everyone.
I recently purchased an excellent-quality SQ bakhoor from Oudique, along with some attars, All of them are amazing! I was wondering if it would be possible to add a little bit of the bakhoor to an attar to intensify the incense nuances.
Has anyone done this? Could the solid...

Hi all.
If you could have a bespoke attar, what would you want? Like, something that brings back memories, include notes, ouds, thoughts, purposes, etc.
I'll start.
I'd want something ethereal: like blue lotus, a Vietnamese oud dose, a dash of spicy Edward rose, brown ambergris, a dry woody...
Hi all m, i hope you are well!
I will be macerating and blending some oils and musks over the next couple years (for personal use) and wanted to ask where the best place to buy (in the UK) a small quantity of high quality glass dip attar bottles (ideally a couple in 3ml and a couple in 6ml)
I...
I'm working on a small batch of attar and would love to hear your thoughts on blending directions, layering tips, or proportions using the following rare naturals from my collection:
vintage Mysore sandalwood oil
Ambergris tincture (7.5%, aged 1.5 yrs in pure ethanol)
Deer musk macerated in...
Hey everyone. I'm tinkering with this formula. Its for an Attar. What do you think? I left out the weight to keep the final formula a secret. 😂
Eaglewood Essentional Oil
Orris Tincture, France, 10% Resinoid
Carrot Seed EO
Caradamon CO2
Pepper, Black EO...
Jade Blaze wasn’t meant to launch yet. It was originally planned for the autumn–winter collection, but after sending out a few samples, the response was so strong we had to bring the release forward. The messages came in fast, far more than expected, and it quickly became clear this one couldn’t...
Elysium - Sulaym
This is by far the best attar I’ve had that is light on the Oud and heavy with the florals and ambergris.
It tops Ghalia AlSaudia and Trojena by Sokkat AlTeeb by a mile. I’m not sure if it has musk but it feels like it might have just a bit. It smells like fresh vegetation...
Hi
Can any one help identify the ouds , pictures below
1. It's from Shama perfume
Smells very animalic and weird
2. I have shorted it down to Syed Junaid Alam oil , it's green in color and has some solids at the bottom
Can some one give any information about the kind of oil and any thing...
Hello everyone it’s been a while since I’ve had the time to post and it’s good to be back.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with attar distillers in Kannauj? I’ve been wishing to buy some rose attar and sandalwood oil directly from the source but I don’t know who has the quality...
Salam Alaikum Ouddicts!
I came across this video where Sheikh Zakir Naik gifts an exclusive Attar to Sheikh Uthman. This fragrance is used on Kiswa per him. It's probably gifted only to dignitaries by Saudi govt and I know I probably can't find it for sale from anyone but if anyone of you...
So...
first I gotta say, that the CA based attar-shop agarscents bazaar to ME has some of the best attars I've ever smelled and from this shop is also the attar in my welcome post, the one that I'm trying to somehow rebuilt - I know exact copies are not possible of course, but I'll try to...
This is an unreleased attar that I actually got straight from Maher when we met for coffee the other day. We were catching up—me being late and getting my coffee and after the usual pleasantries, Maher casually pulling out a tiny vial like he was smuggling treasure (which, honestly, he was). He...
