This is an old, old, old perfume I formulated years ago, tweaked to make this edition extra-special.
Chugoku Naya (a super rare three-years-aged single-sourced China/India distillation) proudly sits at the forefront, supported by an amazing blend of vintage sandalwood oils, the legendary rose oil from the 1980s from Sultan Qaboos himself, and the mesmerizing breath of old Chinese and Iranian roses.
The Chinese rose has been a prized ingredient that I-ve used extremely sparingly. If only I could find the same aroma, it would make life way easier! This yield dates back ten years, and sadly for me (lucky for you), every last drop went in here.
Together with the rare Chinese rose, I specifically added the Iranian harvest (the most expensive rose in the world) to compliment the Sultan-s historic extraction.
Every supporting ingredient — from Chugoku Naya to the vintage santal, Chinese and Iranian rose — is better than the already-fantastic ones used in previous editions, and turns this rendition into the most exquisite one yet.
The formula is elegant and uses this precise selection of the very finest aromatics in perfumery to stir up a warm spicy-sweet interplay with Qaboos-rose that makes Sultan Rose Attar the rose-oud perfume of a lifetime.
