This attar is super mellow and reflective, yet still has the power of oud at it's heart. It's not the most animal, or barnyard and bordering more on the strangeness and fixative quality of Ambergris and the familiarity of sandalwood but the oud is ever present. I'm not sure if it's a blend or what but the oud has the characteristics of Cambodi or Indian, but way low in the mix here, drying down to a woods which has a dark, teak stained nature with nutty heft. I loved it...I bought it.
