Oh For fucks sake Mr Eleven cheer up mate! 'Oh these attars are rubbish, oh these attars don't last and NONE of them have any silage' I'm reading your reviews and I can hear this whiny droning in my head. Objectively speaking now (because hopefully you can trust me to speak for EVERYONE when I say) Sultan's attars are absolutely stunning! Anyone that says otherwise is wrong. Simple as that. Do I like them all? No. Would I buy the vast majority of them? No. Are they masterfully curated in a way that you just don't get from other attar makers who don't use half as many materials or show as many 'looks' as this guy? YES! The nature of these rare and stunningly rendered materials is that they might be fleeting, and who cares, I'd rather have loved and lost... and all that. They are all STRONG to begin with and that's the main thing. This is like a dewy morning, all glistening and beaded foilage and suggestions of undergrowth, beautiful clary sage and oakmoss giving herbal, earthy textures then a mild sweetness. Then comes the wet florals of hyacinth but it's completely tamed by a robust woodiness and faint animalic, greenery. I'm surprisingly beguiled by this one because I thought it might be too floral, but it's perfect.
