Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

I've been wearing the roh khas non-stop.
I really like it. It walks a good balance between fresh and earthy. Longevity is also good. I got it this week and apparently it's his new batch.

Rohits other oils,like his Roh Kadam, Motia and Gulab are actually quite weird. They all have the same opening note, which I find disgusting. I don't know how to describe this note. It's a foreign smell to me. It's not a rotten kind of smell or a fecal smell. It's a plastic/ chemical type vibe.

When I asked him about it he said that hydro distilled oils have this note and it dissipates in 15 minutes. He said ML Ramnarain Gulab also had this, I wouldn't know as I've never smelled that.

I just can't get over that opening.
Strong dislike for his other stuff. Longevity on skin for his other stuff is very low. On clothes abit better and that opening note is also less pronounced still way too much for me to ignore.

Thanks for sharing.
You may have received a better distillation. If you were in the US, I would have requested for a sample to compare.
The Rose oil was okay, not bad. Just overly sweet. Nothing special.
The smell that you dislike and get from these oils, they come from distillation techniques. Its not true that all Hydro Distilled oils have it.

I have the oils from MLR and other distillers and none of them have the note. In fact MLR Ruh Gulab is my favorite Ruh Gulab in the market.

I feel brother Rohit needs to tweak his distillation technique and he can make things better. Do share your feedback with him. He is a very positive person when taking in feedback.

Does anyone know where I can purchase ML Ramnarain attars from distributors in the United States? I am specifically looking for “Rose Gulab” “Zafraan” and “Mysore sandalwood” attars.

No where else for retail. A few retail sellers like naaz perfumes have it, but all based in India.
If you are fond of Roses @wardlab ’s Nangarhar is not to be missed. I know they are not the same thing but I like the smell better than Ruh Gulab.

Just curious anyone here go exclusively attars and no more perfumes? I've been thinking about doing that I love the small bottles plus it seems to me to try they last longer as in use wise.

About a year and half / two years ago I stopped wearing my sprays for 2-3 months and only wore ouds and attars. I've gone back now, as I have so many that I really do enjoy and don't want them sitting there. So, I bring a spray to work every day (I cycle to the office so I bring it with me) and up to 4 ouds too that I'll swipe on the back of my hands / forearms just to test them out, so that I'm not neglecting them! For ages my oils have sat there unused while I just wore sprays, so now I have a very smelly balance...maybe?
 
Just received a new attar from Mellifluence, 345 An Nabi. Deer musk, ambergris, costus, oud. "An Nabi" means "the Prophet" in Arabic, and those materials are all found in narrations about perfumes used by the Prophet of Islam (upon him be blessings and peace), so perhaps this is intended as a tribute although the item description does not say so.

I haven't smelled deer musk for almost 20 years and the one I had then was very animalic and raw, while this is tamer and softer by design. The opening is very slightly boozy, and dark with a hint of rich coffee or cocoa and a mild sweetness. There is a tiny bit of powderiness there like laundry musk, but if the powder were black or deep purple rather than white, if you see what I mean. A general pleasant warm atmosphere pervades throughout, like a room that was fumigated with oud a couple of hours ago. I will say however that it is very faint, I cannot smell it at all unless I have my skin to my nose. Of course I could slather it on to remedy that, but it's a small vial and won't go a long way if I do.

strange, I could smell that on me 6-8hrs after swiping. I'm really enjoying it
 
Wearing Agar Aura Java today.

I have been enjoying it quite a bit lately. Green foresty vibes off the top are exquisite, and the blueish-green down is something to cherish.
Also, I got a compliment from an arab lady who works at the local hospital. Not bad!

I do not see a lot of people talk about it though. It has been sold out for a long time but fairly meagre reviews on perfume platforms.
 
Ruh Khus - Aligarh from An-Najwa

The best Ruh Khus I've smelled to date. A very clean, refreshing smell that elevates the mood right away. I need to try from other houses for the comparison. Wearing it right now and will update you on longevity.

Would you be able to wear both during the day, attars for yourself and spray fragrances for others to smell? How and where would you apply to achieve this?
Click to expand...
Yes when the weather is warm and I wear short sleeves. I apply similar composition types as not to oppose but compliment. I would apply the perfumes to my neck and back of hands and the attar or possibly ouds to my outer forearm (so it does not get wiped away on armrests).
 
Feather Attar by Phoenicia Perfumes

A deceptively simple sounding attar of Bhutanese oud, Indonesian sandalwood, tuberose and tonka bean. David did a really great job working with his distiller here to extract a very well-rounded sandalwood. Opens full of santal spice, leathery oud, and musky tuberose. As the spice quiets down, the tuberose pairs beautifully with the bitter, animalic oud. The oud then quiets down, and the sandalwood reveals its creamy facets, sweetened and given prominence by the vanillic, hay-like tonka, and emphasizing the sweet white florals of the tuberose. Excellent work, and shockingly pungent for an all natural attar.
 
Sultan leather attar ( manipur) by Ensar oud layered with rose musk perfume from paradise oil ( half a spray from sample) ... I think this layering just enhanced the SLA attar righteously.. I really enjoyed the first version of SLA .. and the Manipur was nice but some more rose would have been on spot for me 🙂 .. well this layering worked and also the longevity and projection improved as well, which I believe is due to the perfumes alcohol from the spray.
