Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

[britishmisk]

Just received Ensar's Kyara Koko today. Wow, this is something else, there's so much going on that it's hard to describe. It's like jungle fruits mixed with oud.

Amber Ash Sheikh by Abdul Karim Alfaransi... thick with some rough edges (in a good way) , dark , resinous , softened saffron.. and amber offcorse has a goldeny hue to it ..

Sounds a bit similar to Al-Arabiya by Agar Aura..whats your thought ?

Oud Al-Amir from Maison Anthony Marmin

I’m blown away at the quality of this Attar for it being under $30usd for 3 grams. Excellent cambodi Oud dressed up with sweet dried fruits and amber.

Completely different. I'd say Arabiya is more spicy and smokey. Kyara Koko reminds me of Sultan Pasha's Encens D'Angkhor but way better. As a South Asian, SP's smelt like my spice cupboard, people rave about that attar, but I really detested it, and I know someone of a similar background to me also felt the same way about it.

I haven't tried Encens D'Anghor, but Arabiya was like a gourmand sweet shop with oud ..would kyara koko be like a cousin, fruits + oud.. ?

This gentleman has alot of hidden gems and at a killar price point..but there is always something about a good attar, they are satisfying!

I get more frankincense, tobacco, spice and Oud with Arabiya...with possibly just a touch of fruit. It’s interesting to get other perspectives. I like this attar.

Tobacco ! Wow ..like proper tobacco note or like a accord ?

More of an accord, part of the overall experience as opposed to a specific note. Definitely a multifaceted attar.

I Agree

Tibetan, "gathered" musk grains macerated for a year and a half in East Timor Sandalwood. Finally getting that musky KICK!

I didn't get that vibe at all from Arabiya, but that's certainly how I would describe KK, yep.

Sorry I meant Aurum D'Anghkor, not sure where Encens D'Anghor came from

I believe that was the name of the cambodi oil used in that attar

I wasn't blown away by his attars,(smell pretty similar to what you can get from any half decent attar shop tbh), but thats not to say they're not any good.

From the ones I've tried, my favourite would have to be his Sheikh Al Faransi which to me is a great tulsi and ambergris mix that performs really well.It's a smooth well blended oil with no harsh notes that jut out and make you feel nauseous after a few hours (unlike his FBI for instance).

I can understand your sentiment and I respect that. For me it’s more about being top of the line Attars in the budget category. I don’t have access to any Attar shops so it makes it difficult to sort through quality budget ranges.

I gotta save every penny these days. If you know of any cheaper budget brands in the $30usd for 1/4 Tola range I’d love to try some out. Thanks brother!

If you don't have any attar shops near you, then you can't go wrong with the ones from Maison Anthony Marmin and Mellifluence.Aside from the arabian and indian brands, you maybe able to get a few attars in the $30-60usd/3ml price range from Agarscentsbazaar in the US, who was known for his musk and ambergris blends.Not bought from him in years though, so can't vouch for any of his recent work.

Nuit Persane (Sultan Pasha) - saffron bomb done elegantly!

Sorry for late reply brother, ill try and get a sample of kyara koko. Sounds like a chillout attar
