Sharif, from Abdes Salaam Attars Perfumes was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Dominique Dubrana. The notes are Almond, Amber, Civet, Leather, Oriental Notes, Woody Notes.
This perfume is magic! Absolute magic. The ultimate sepia toned fragrance, translucent possessing both resinous heft and depth, but has a lightness, allowing it to be light and nuanced. It does remind me of coke. Not cocaine before you Tuscan leather sniffers start, but coca cola (other brands are available) infact it's more like the syrup of an own brand or soda stream cola, or holding up cola bottle (sweets) to the light. That's highly reductive though because it has a blend of spices with gingery bite, cinnamon warm, anise character and much more. Leathery amber is a broad approximation of this fragrance. It’s MAD because I looked at the notes and reviews here and people were talking about almond notes etc… which I TOTALLY didn’t get at all. However as this dries down after several hours it goes almost floral, and lightly powdery and that sweetness becomes that cherry/almond benzaldehyde smell but really, really natural, not something forced in fact it smells like real tonka absolute which has those qualities and indeed I get almond sure, but like nearly 12 hours later on my clothes. I like it very much indeed, a fun fragrance to wear if you like sweet, piquant spices, cherry coke/Dr Pepper stuff like that but conveyed in an unusual and high quality manner. I want it but I fear it’s not gonna be easy to get as the sample is old.
