**Opening up new bottles of Champa and Hina that I've had. This batch of Hina Musk was quite a bit more green than the previous batch - and the finished Attar is more green than red this time around as a result (the Red was from the Rose ... but the green from the Hina is overtaking it this time around). So if you're circling back to purchase another bottle - just a heads up the color may be a little different.
MUSK ROSE ATTAR :
Musk Rose (Rosa moschata) is an actual flower - but distillations of the flower are quite rare. I wanted to make a beautiful perfume that smelled like a very vivid Musk Rose. But how to recreate such a rare beauty...?
I searched far and wide for materials that could help me recreate the scent of a Musk Rose...and I found them in traditional Indian Attar distillations.
I began with the finest Rose extract I could find. I wanted this Musk Rose Attar to be more than just Rose - I wanted it to be so incredibly juicy that just a pinch of it would transport the Listener to a Sultan's private Rose Garden.
I chose the best Rose distillation I have experienced, from a place normally not on the Top 3 (or even Top 5) list for their Roses. I found this beautiful Russian Centifolia Rose that I chose to be the core of the fragrance.
I wanted some more Top Notes to flesh it out - and this is where I turned to rare, genuine Indian distillations. I chose a genuine Indian-distilled Champa that just smells OMG. Apple Blossoms on the Top, with a Champa Heart that you can almost take a bite out of, with tenacious animalic Base Notes. Together with the Rose - it creates an almost 3-D feeling of being surrounded by velvety roses.
To this, I further compounded it with a genuine Hina Musk Attar. An Attar is a traditional Indian tradition of distilling one or multiple materials into Sandalwood - and finding genuine Attars is difficult, especially considering that India self-consumes 80-90% of all Attars produced, and the genuine, all natural list of Attars is even more prized and luxurious and rare... This particular Hina Musk took more than 100 different materials and a total of 3 months to distill.
The ingredients - ranging from a variety of mosses, dozens of woods, spices, and resins, floral extracts of Gulab (Rose), Chemeli (Jasmine), Davana, Kewra and other florals - all distilled into Indian Sandalwood. Hina Musk is THE most sensuous, all natural botanical musk there is, and I am very fortunate to have the connections to acquire the traditionally distilled, NATURAL Hina Musk Attar.
These 3 unusual materials are laid in a bed of custom-distilled Mysore Sandalwood, with a touch of Cambodian Oud.
