ratio of oud and taif rose

[wasimlondon]

I’m planning to make a simple natural attar using Taif rose, Indian oud and natural musk.

I want the Taif rose to be the main note, with the Indian oud supporting it rather than overpowering it. I’d also like to add a little natural musk to help with depth and longevity.

For those experienced with natural attars, what ratio would you recommend for rose : oud : musk or add bit of sanadalwood as a bridge?

Would something around 60% rose, 30% oud and 10% musk work, or would you use less oud and musk to keep the Taif rose dominant?

Rose is very strong, even if you want rose forward, that seems like way too much rose to me. You can find some threads around here, pretty long ones where people discuss actual percents, i bet you could find some great info. (sorry not sure on actual numbers since i use rose sparingly and not as the star)
