Too Smoky for Me

Good morning everyone. Back to closet shopping today and ran across a Swiss Arabian sample set I received when I purchased Khalis Al Nisa, White Musk Special and Khalis Al Rijal from Maison d’ Orient last year. The sample I chose today was Attar Al Ghutra.

Top: raspberry, saffron, Mandarin orange, bergamot

Heart: rose, Frankincense, Oud, jasmine

Base: patchouli, sandalwood, Tuscan Leather, suede, agar wood

Based on the composition I thought I’d really like this fragrance but I don’t. I like masculine fragrances but this one goes overboard on smelling like I just smoked a cigar wearing my leather jacket. It’s way too smoky for my wearing pleasure and it really has longevity as I put it on at 6:00am and it is still a strong aroma six hours later.

I guess if one is interested in a very smoky, very masculine leather fragrance this fills the bill perfectly, but it just not my preference.
