L’Heure D’Or, from Sultan Pasha Attars was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is Sultan Pasha. It has the top notes of Absinthe, Bergamot, Clary Sage, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Lemon, and Spicy Notes, middle notes of Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Orange Blossom, Orris Root, Rose, Sandalwood, and Tobacco, and base notes of Amber, Ambergris, Benzoin, Castoreum, Cedarwood, Civet, Musk, Olibanum (Frankincense), Saffron, Sandalwood, Styrax, and Tobacco.
Complete and total KO! Wow! Just Wow! Opens like a bright but herbal, white floral, all the while backed by a heavy woody, animalic breath of ambergris. It smells more like the herbal, cumin, sweaty bite of civet replacement rather than real civet which is more cheesy and oud like, but I could be wrong? Whatever the combination of animalic elements they are exquisitely judged because you can still smell the citrus and aromatic & lactonic creamy florals, perhaps some andalwood materials too long into the drydown. I get that this is totally masculine but not at all heavy handed. Love it!
