Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

[ahmedibnabid]

lol then it’s exactly as intended. I use this maceration to incorporate a musk note in attars and perfumes, but many people asked for it solo so here it is. It’s fresh Siberian musk straight from the pod, no drying or anything, I left some bits of the skin too. Put a drop of it in rose or Oud and you’ll enjoy it more I bet. Used like this it’ll last a very very long time.

For sure it is as advertised and I enjoy for what it is. Fun to open up and have a sniff now and again.
And for pairings I really liked it with tuberose. Made it feel (pardon the cliché) more alive.

Upon opening the stopper the experience isn't as pleasant lol. Immediately the sharper aspects of the sandalwood and musk attack you, reminding you it is after all an animal,s organ.

I think a good maceration is supposed to punch you first and then hug you tight, sounds like this one does the job well.

White florals and Animalics are always great together, they compliment each other very well 👍

This attar is so special. It kind of reminds me of a Shamama that’s more floral-based. But it’s so sumptuous.
It opens with a luminous accord of white lotus and opulent red champaca, anchored by the rich, honeyed depth of vintage Rose de Mai. As it evolves, dark patchouli and SQ Bakhoor dissolve into a base of golden ambergris, leaving a scent trail of smoke, rich florals, and oceanic warmth. This one is so calming to the nerves. Absolutely gorgeous attar.

I feel like the frankincense oils that @Oudique carried are worth mentioning again, I just came across a bottle of the royal green hojari. These oils are very thick and viscous without being sticky, I'm not sure how that is pulled off and I wish I knew a little bit more about their production/ composition. Aroma is very true to the resin itself, I recall conversations here about folks wishing frankincense oils were not so thin and runny, this is a really unusual one because it's not watery but it's also not sticky / gummy - just a nice viscous oil that disperses on skin without the problems of my resinoids. I wonder if this is perhaps a carbon dioxide extract?
