Dark Matter, our absolute oud masterpiece of the year.

This represents Elixir Attar’s first perfume of the smoke series set to be seconded by our Kyara smoke perfume which is in the works now. This perfume is a symphony of dark notes for the lovers of extremely heavy oud based blends. This perfume also is more like an attar and has a very long life, it is a wintery perfume, but we felt it is the time to release it now because our travel plans may disrupt its release in early winter because of the other planned releases.

417 grams of materials was used for 1150 grams of a total perfume extrait, excluding the tinctures of Sultan Qaboos Kashmiri deer musk 6% , Celtic ambergris 5%, and 3% civet, and most importantly, fully sinking Nha Trang wild agarwood Smoke prepared by completely fumigating the alcohol with a generous dose of this wood, turning the alcohol into an amazing masterpiece of a smoke tincture. This means that this perfume is about 37% concentration, one of our highest ever.
