Hello all, I have been busy for a minute or two working on a new scent. I absolutely love middle eastern attars and oud in general. I also love the work of Pierre Montale, particularly black aoud. But, as is my way, it just isn't good enough for me.... I need it darker and spicier, almost scary black. So, I have been working on a oud based dark rose fragrance and thought I would share with y'all. I've dumped many failures to this point, but now have something in oil form I am liking quite a bit. I don't have a name for it yet but here are the notes in general.... Sandalwood, Cambodian oud,patchouli, Bulgarian rose otto, carnation absolute(adds a wonderful smoke/spice note) , musk and a citrus accord plus some other ingredients that add to making the naturals and the overall fragrance what I want it to be. Any and all feedback is appreciated as wellas input and suggestions. Going to dlute soon will have samples once the vials arrive.
