Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

Omani Frankincense (RPP): Yes, it is a perfume oil as it doesn't seem to be a solo symphony. Amazing thing is the oil's quality to create affinity with the skin. Not watery at all. Even after three hours, it is very much present there. On skin, its signature note is note-worthy. Though I relate the note, after two hours, with cardamom but it is Frankincensey cardamom. Its life span is superb that is really unique. No doubt, its being replete with Frankincense resin oriented aroma has subdued medicinal and excessive green traits.

Really attar like solo oil. For the one who loves sweet spices with a bit heavy (but not pungent) aroma, this oil is a beauty. Yes, JK, you are right. On skin, it has unveiled 'herself'.

I couldn't say for certain. It's this gentleman: https://www.agarscentsbazaar.com/ who also has shops on eBay and Etsy.
Today's is the similar but friendlier Musk Aswad by Abdul Karim al-Faransi. I just got a delightful parcel from him that I can tell I will be enjoying for a long time.
 
x10 royal hojari attar - tyson (Double distilled Royal green hojary frankincense / Tahiti Vanilla / Sri Lanka sandalwood / Hawaii Vetiver)

It is an incredible fresh and uplifting scent, you smell the lemony frankinscence really coming through, on the second application i could smell some vetiver. This is the most natural and clean smelling scent i have ever worn. I Always get a great mood when i smell it on my wrist! Energizing and addictive scent. It lasts about 5 hours on my skin when it becomes a skin scent. Frankinscent oils dont last as long as oudh, but on first hour you can smell it projecting really strong. Great job tyson!
 
Oud+Frangipani+Sandal (Co-distillation by Tyson): Well, after a pretty long time, I smelt something different. Otherwise, attars or even oils have similarity. This one is really novel.
Frangipani ethereal scent welcomes olfactory but as if coming out of wild Oudwood. It is really beautiful. Sandal is quite mild, and is woody; so, the other two precious ingredients have triumphed over Timor Sandal.

It is getting thicker, and this is what I wanted so that it stays on skin, and then its overall aura will be felt in totality.

Yesterday's AotD was a momentous occasion for me: my first-ever genuine musk. Turath by Al Shareef Oudh. It's smoky and leathery with tiny glimpses of rose and other florals. The intermediate phase is a dry, solemn sandalwood. The jaw-dropping thing is that I applied it last night at 10-ish, and it's now nearly 10 the next morning and the drydown is the most heavenly, snuggly, clean-but-not-too-clean skin scent. I will delay my shower until it wears off.
Somehow I'll find US$450 to spend on this. Not sure how. (I will have to pause my oud purchases, darn it.)
 
Cedar Oud (RBO's): Wood! Cedar itself is a luxurious aroma, and when Oud shakes hand with Cedar, it is torrential indeed. Opening is cedary and very powerful. Later, it calms down, and then it appears to be cedary oudy. Its life span is extraordinary. I wore it at 3:00 pm, and now it is 8:30 pm. But the aroma is still fresh and freshening.

Cedar was discussed a year before on the Forum, and Tyson, I think, started a thread. I love wood. And Cedar is blessed with unique notes that really enthralls the one whose olfactory is 'wood-centered'. After a year, Ish actualized what was discussed in that thread, and actualized that successfully.

Dear Ish, one thing I want to ask for my personal learning. How to have an attar viscous enough? This Cedar Oud Attar belied my previous assumption that only viscosity brings longevity to attar. Your Cedar Oud is not viscous at all, but longevity is marvellous. Yet I want to have an attar with pretty enough viscosity.
 
Tigerwood (EO's)+ Kashmiri Musk Grains+ Mysore Santal (IO's) Maceration: Well, a year old maceration it is. And I macerated pretty enough grains to have the heaviest Musc-Oud aroma. Tigerwood and Musk are born for each-other. Tigerwood itself is an insuperable oil. But the transcendental Musk oriented fragrance is really a kind of 'Deliverance'.

Salamulikum Munir Bhaia , SubanaAllah Bhaia , you always give me inspiration and new way to improve my techniques , will definitely create future attars with more Viscosity , Will take a Lab hot plate magnetic mixer and put on low heat and evaporate Sandal and Rose infusion until it's at the correct viscosity, and thickness when moved in the Pyrex beaker should be like a syrup nice and thick , only thing I have to put a lock on my door for the perfume room , scared Kids might run in the room and start fiddling with the temperature knob or worst knocking over the perfume 😱, Now you are making my nose Ponder , the other Day I was travelling in the Bus going to work , I actually love taking the Bus cause you can smell the olfactory wonders what people wear , one time I ask my friend "George you smell amazing what are you wearing?" , friend responded " it's my new deodorant" I laughed so loud that bus driver asked what's so funny lol , No disrespect to my friend but my nose thought it was a perfume , going off topic there my bad , So I was on the Bus and I smelled chocolate in the air and a Deer musk fragrance , then a Old lady started to peel an orange and combined these three flavors & scent my brain Olfactory sensor lite up like a Disco Ball , I noted the scents on my note pad on the phone and was inspired to see if I can put that scent in a Bottle , is it Possible ? well have to find out InshaAllah .:oldman:
 
Siberian Musk Asl Maceration (Faheem) & Kashmiri Musk Maceration: Eyelids have got heavier after being 'Musk Drunk'. This is divine symphony of fragrances that enthralls and enchants. I have always been of the view that Musk is the fragrance beyond language. It is just like 'Present' to live.

Musk Asl is 'Beauty', and Kashmiri Musk is 'Grace'!
 
Kashmiri, Siberian, Tibetan Musk Grains: First mixed grains and then added a few drops of Mysore Sandal, just a few drops, to turn the dry grains to paste.

Now it is my all time fellow. Just sniffing the Musks. Three oceans have met and become one, but each Musk can be distinguished if one is quite familiar with the definite aroma of each species. Kahmiri Musk is leading the Fragrant Legion. Both Siberian and Tibetan are subordinate to Kashmiri Musk. It is NO exaggeration. It is empirical findings. Siberian Musk and Tibetan Musk are identical twins/sisters, but Tibetan is a minute older.

Three in one! Musk! The best fragrance ever, on spiritual, metaphysical and physical domains.
 
Gardenia enfleurage , white beach cast ambergris , mysore sandalwood.... Just experimenting but its quite lovely
