Launched in 2017 and classified as an Oriental Vanilla.

The nose is Sultan Pasha.

Top: meyer lemon, blood orange, bergamot, lavender, birch, spices

Heart: white Alba truffles, damascena rose, jasmine grandiflorum, orris pallida butter

Base: white ambergris, Mysore sandalwood, civet, musk, opoponax, guaicwood, honey, patchouli, Siamese benzoin, tonka, Tahitian vanilla, Madagascan vanilla.

Opens ups very light and brightly sweet with a hint of florals, you get the lemon and blood orange mostly in the few moments of application. After that this scent develops this lovely gourmand. It's a gourmand, but not overly vanilla based. Its sweet, but not overly sugary, it's smooth and slightly creamy. Has a subtle woody quality, but the woody quality has an edible quality. There's also a lovely buttery quality to the composition.

Quite a difficult review to conduct, as I've never smelt anything like this before, so difficult to dissect the notes.

As with most sultan Pasha attars, the performance is very good! I got at least 8 hours of longevity with healthy projection.

Overall rating of 4/5.

"Thebes is dedicated to a very old, discontinued composition I smelt in Paris at a certain famous establishment. It was so evocative that it was the only time a perfume brought me close to tears. As a result, I toiled for many months and many late nights to recreate it as I wanted it to be my signature perfume. And here it is... Thebes. Inspired by Djedi Guerlain." - Sultan Pasha

Top: bergamot, muguet (Lily of the Valley), aldehydes and Persian rose otto. Middle: orris butter, Bulgarian rose absolute, jasmine grandiflorum absolute and musk. Base: vetiver, amber, ambergris, musk and animalics.

Opens with a warm spicy glow with some waxy and buttery creaminess in the background, gives me a slightly marzipan vibe. As the scent develops, the waxy quality increases and a sweetness also develops, with the warm glow ever present along side it, with a touch of a gentle powderiness. The opening is mostly about the orris butter or iris, and the marzipan and the warm spicy waxy quality really reminds me of Irisior also by sultan pasha. As the scent dries down it becomes much deeper and darker, it's joined by an animalic leather accord, though the is powdery floral iris and the warm spicy touch is still at the forefront. The scent gives off a very ancient feeling, like walking into an Egyptian tomb that's just been opened.

Projection is strong for the first couple of hours after which is sits a little more closer to the skin. Longevity is around 5 hours.

Overall rating of 6/10.

Nose behind this scent is Sultan Pasha, an independent attar perfumer based in London. He doesn’t have professional training, but he does have some background in chemistry. His attars are known for incredibly high quality natural ingredients sourced from top suppliers, with only a tiny amount of synthetics (minimum amount) to finish off some scents.

A little background regarding this scent: This scent is based off one of Sultan Pasha's favorite memories where a family friend would visit his villa, and this family friend used to ride on his huge horse and he always had a pipe in his mouth that gave off the scent of the finest sweet tobacco he had ever smelt in his life.

Top: Hawthorn, Saffron, Cognac, Coffee and Tobacco Heart: Osmanthus, Damask Rose, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean, Cacao and Jasmine Base: Hay, Amber, Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Musk, Civet, Immortelle, Castoreum, Hyrax, Oud, Vanilla, Virginian Cedar, Himalayan Cedar and Juniper

Super tangy and sour like tamarind opening, its dark, punchy and fruity. Dries down to a sweet tobacco, with a very gentle smoke, and the tangy fruity tamarind from the opening, and just a touch of dark cocao. Its like smelling the tobacco from a pipe, rather than the tobacco leaf it self. Its a warm comforting spicy tobacco, with sweet tangy fruitiness. Opens up dark and intense, but settles into a gorgeous rich and sweet warm spicy scent.

Projection is beast mode for the first couple of hours, with it then settling in the moderate range, very intense and strong up close but gentle from an arms length. Longevity is excellent over 10+.

This is a perfect scent for fall and winter, as an evening wear scent, casually, formally and as a night out scent.

Overall score of 5/5, one of the best tobacco scents out there, superb!

Top: iris absolute, violet absolute, heliotrope, lilac, mimosa, peach.

Middle: orris pallida butter, carnation absolute, jasmine grandiflorum absolute, Persian rose otto, violet leaf absolute.

Base: white ambergris, mimosa absolute, tonka absolute, Mysore sandalwood, cedar, Haitian vetiver, orris pallida butter.

A super smooth and creamy opening, very deep and rich, has waxy quality, with hints gourmands notes (tonka), with some gentle sweetness and a backbone of woodiness. It has a marzipan quality, reminds me of a shaving soap called Cella i used to use when i didn't have a beard and was a hobbyist of wet shaving. Had the scent dries down it starts having a gorgeous powdery quality. Smells very luxurious and of high quality. Also has a strong warm spicy note in the drydown.

Performance is strong for an attar, you have a decent scent cloud, with the scent being very strong close up. Longevity is brilliant, 10+ hours.

Overall rating is 5/5, gorgeous scent, wonderful performance, such high quality, a joy to experience!

Top: rose and madagascar vanilla Heart: haitian vetiver, honey, tuberose and bulgarian rose Base: sandalwood, ambergris, amber and indian oud

A very sweet delicate rose opening, which is smooth and creamy. The scent is quite linear, doesn't change drastically nor does it evovle, its pretty one-dimensional. A beautiful sweet, creamy and smooth rose, with sandalwood and vanilla.

Projection is soft to moderate, doesn't scream massively off your skin. Longevity on my skin is around 6 hours.

This would be an ideal date fragrance that can be worn year round.

Overall rating of 3.5/5.

Top: saffron oil, jasmine auriculatum absolute, Persian rose otto.

Heart: Bulgarian damascena absolute, honey absolute, orange blossom, henna, tobacco.

Base: EnsarOud's Encens D'Angkhor, beeswax, hand-macerated ambergris, hand-made Shamama (aged sandalwood, 30-year-old patchouli, henna, labdanum, Siamese benzoin, musk) raw Persian and Spanish Saffron strands maceration, Siamese benzoin resinoid, labdanum, tobacco absolute, Mysore sandalwood.

The opening has this slight faint metallic vibe, with a dull warm spiciness. For me it reminds me of my mums gold jewellery she keeps in a plastic container (old ice cream box, you know those 3 flavour combo's with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry), she keeps this plastic container in the kitchen, which holds her gold jewellery, along with some other miscellaneous items like a small tub of saffron (used sparingly in dishes made for special occasions), some band aids etc. And whenever I used to need a band aid, and open the container, I use to get a whiff off this dull spiciness with some metallic nuance from the jewellery, and thats what I get in the opening.

As the scent develops, the faint metallic vibes eases, but the dull warm spices become less dull, the saffron now feels more blooded, and joined with is the most luxurious note of Jasmine. Unfortunately for me the jasmine doesn't last too long, and as the scent dries down it takes with it the warm intense spicy Saffron with is joined by a juicy woody accord, and a dirty slightly animalic Oud, maybe due to the henna note.

This was a difficult review to conduct, as the scent was incredibly complex, it hits you differently on each wearing, with so many facets and complexities, it was difficult to identity just one accord. This is a very regal, and opulent scent, fit for royalty.

The projection is strong for the first couple of hours, after which is becomes moderate, with a solid scent cloud. Longevity is brilliant 12+ hours.

Best suited to formal occasions.

Perfect score of 5/5, a masterpiece.

Top: Butter, Rose and Iranian Saffron Heart: Turkish Rose and Sandalwood Base: Hindi Oud, Hyrax, Musk, Ambergris and Tobacco.

Two very different experiences on each wearing.

First experience of this scent was mind blowing, I got this heavy animalic musky, leathery hyrax, with a touch of funky Hindi Oud. It was a daring and challenging scent, but it blew me away and I absolutely loved it. Second wearing was more of classic rose Oud, very bright and floral sweet rose, with a gentle funky Hindi Oud base.

On subsequent wearings I got that animalic musky leather in the opening, but it eased as the scent developed in the heart, due to this sweet floral rose. Now the rose in this is very floral, its sweet but not due to gourmand notes such as vanilla, it's not a jammy rose. As the scent dries down there's a touch of the Hindi Oud, which gives a faint woody touch and aids the funkiness present in the scent. It's to me in the dry down this incredibly sexy animalic musky and subtle leathery scent, it has this sweaty human skin feel, with a touch of smooth and sweet rose. Glorious, complex and undoubtedly high quality, the rose especially feels incredible natural.

Projection is moderate on this scent, pretty strong for the first hour, but then becomes more moderate. Longevity on my skin was around 6-8 hours.

Overall rating for this one is 5/5, I love animalic scents, and this one was one of the best I've come across so far!

Nose behind this scent is Sultan Pasha, a self taught attar maker, considered by many as the best in the world.

As a child, Sultan Pasha was exposed to lush fertile jungles with tea gardens nearby. The air was rife with the scent of green foliage, earth and moisture mingling with the creamy scent of ripe wild fruits and berries alongside the creamy narcotic scent of white and yellow florals.

Top: gardenia enfleurage and jasmine sambac enfleurage. Heart: lavender absolute, tuberose absolute, gardenia absolute and sandalwood. Base: Bois de Borneo (rare Borneo oud by Ensar oud), katrafay, tonka absolute, calamus, Haitian vetiver, galbanum, civet and ambergris.

Beautiful and luscious jasmine opening, really rich and bright but also creamy possibly from the sandalwood, with a noticable calming lavender which sadly only lasts a few minutes. The opening almost has a leather or better described as a suede opening, which is surrounded by white florals such as tuberose, jasmine and gardenia especially which really starts dominating the scent within the first 5 minutes or so. As the fragrance develops it almost becomes creamier and smoother, coming across a little like almond (possibly coming from the tonka bean). Sadly there isn't much development after that (that I could detect), due to performance issues.

Projection is good for the first hour, after which it sits much closer to the skin. Though if someone was to come close to you, they would be able to smell it. In terms of longevity this lasted on my skin for around 5 hours.

Overall a solid scent, masterfully crafted but the performance wasn't the best on my skin. 5/10

Noses behind the scent was a collaboration between father and son Oliver and Erwin Creed, 6th and 7th Generation Creeds respectively.

Aventus was created to celebrate strength, vision and success, inspired by the dramatic life of war, peace and romance lived by Emperor Napoleon.

Top Notes: blackcurrant, bergamot, apple and pineapple. Heart Notes: Rose, dry birch, Moroccan jasmine and patchouli Base Notes: oak moss, musk, ambergris, and vanilla

Opens up very smokey and woody, very powerful and masculine, after which you pick up subtle fruits such as the pineapple, blackcurrant and green apple. For the first couple hours the scent has a sour vibe, which might be from the apple. As the scent develops, it becomes sweeter and the fruity notes start becoming more prominent, with the woodiness in the background. On my skin it's starts off smokey and woody, but becomes sweeter as the scent develops, with the pineapple being more prominent in the drydown. gentle vanilla helping with the sweetness in the drydown.

Its not massively complex scent, but its so incredibly pleasing. Its by far one of the best smelling scents out there, its truly intoxicating.

Incredibly versatile, great for both day or night (mostly day for me), and would work great for every season, though best suited to the warmer months. Versatile in terms of occasions too, can be used for pretty much any occasion, swiss army knife fragrance, suitable for work, date, night out, formal and casual.

Performance is outstanding for a fragrance of this type, for a warm weather fragrance, the longevity around 10 hours with excellent projection is fantastic which is one of the reasons why it can be used all year round, as its strong enough to cut through the cold.

People will notice you with this fragrance, like I've said projection is excellent and so is sillage. Been complimented at work, by family and friends. I did get one comment that it was very strong, someone a few feet away from me could smell it. Someone else at work commented that their former boss used to wear it, in her words "drowned himself in it". Received many compliments regarding this scent.

Negative popularity, which makes it quite annoying, I rarely smell fragrances when i'm out but I have smelt this at restaurants, at the gym and at shisha lounges.

Overall rating is 5/5.

Notes: Patchouli, Vanilla, Rose and Oud

Sweet and dark, jammy rose scent. Opens up with a blast of patchouli and rose, has a very sweet and bright, subtle paint like scent. The scent after a few minutes starts becoming slightly smokier and has a warm spicy nuance from a saffron note. The oud adds a smokey woody base but is very subtle and very much a backing player. As the scent develops into the drydown, the vanilla really blends well with the rose, creating a very syrupy jam like rose scent. Oud is very much in the background but its always there, the rose and vanilla really are the most prominent aspect of the scent. The rose becomes richer into the dry down, compared with the opening where it is very sweet and bright. The scent has a velvety feel.

Longevity is beast mode, I could smell it the next morning in the shower, after spraying the evening before as my scent of the night. Projection is excellent for the first couple of hours, after which it is average, you still have a nice scent cloud around you, but it doesn't scream off your skin, which might not be a bad thing, becomes a skin scent around the 7 hour mark.

This is a brilliant night wear scent during the fall and winter and as far as occasions go, I would wear this for dates and formal occasions.

Overall rating 4/5.
