Yesterday, my name was MUD!

Hi all,

Â* Yesterday my SOTE was, MUD. Â*Perhaps a more poetic way saying it would be MITTI. Â*Mitta Attar that is! Â*Pray tell SixCats!, what is Mitta Attar ? Â*A brief discription : "MITTI" is EARTH (or mud) from a region in India. Â* Master craftsmen (using a thousands year old method) loving and gently steam the MITTI in large Copper sealed pots (degs). Â*The steam (the ESSENCE) of the MITTI travels through long Bamboo pipes and is recaptured in another pot containing SANDALWOOD oil. Â*This is where the MAGIC happens! Â*The OIL and ESSENCE combine in a looooong, sloooow embracing dance that (depending on the fragrance being made (in this case MITTI) can take as long as FOUR weeks just to make one batch! Â*The end result ? Â*The most BEAUTIFUL, NATURAL, fragrances know to man! Â*Recently, I was most fortunate to acquire a sample/decant of MITTI from a friend (who ASSURED me) that this sample of MITTI ATTAR was the REAL DEAL. Â*You see, in India, there a fewer and fewer makers of Attars that continue to use the centuries old TRADITIONAL method. Â*Today, (even in India) many "so called" Attars are produced in large factories and mixed with synthics...these are NOT the REAL DEAL! Â*While I am not claiming to be a expert on ATTARS (yet) my nose tell me that the sample of MITTI ATTAR I wore yesterday IS the REAL DEAL! Â*Unlike so many other fragrances Oils I have sampled in the past, this is MUCH different and just plain smells...NATURAL! Â*I am here to tell you, wearing this MITTI ATTAR was a true pleasure! Â* The decant of the REAL DEAL Attar given to me by a friend that I wore yesterday came from a shop (previously unknow to me) WWW.TIGERFLAG.COM Â*I highly suggest that you (as did I) check out Tiger Flag as Â*they have several other REAL DEAL Attars and other goodies! Â*This much I can tell you, obtaining (the REAL DEAL) Attars will DEFINITIVELY be in SixCats! future!

Regards,
SixCats!

Hello Sixcats,
-
That was a very good (And interesting) review. If you have any more Attars, I'd sure love to read more of your reviews on the stuff. Thanks!

Hi Aamir,

Hello my friend. Thank you for your interest in my review. To answer your question, it just so happens that I recently received SIX Attars from a dear person in India! I will do my best to post my impressions of the Attars in the near future.

Regards,
SixCats!
