Voices through a fog at the start, where the traditional rosy attar sweetness seems to be calling in a way that is difficult to pin down. It's a bit milky, a bit powdery, with all edges blurred. Whereas many attars aim for a major chord that disorients and transfixes by its power and thorough blending of gutsy notes, this one is much more subtle, almost too much so until one gets used to it.
Upon further acquaintance one gets a classic sandal-inflected rose attar with a faint aura of musk, light vanillic tones, maybe a dab of saffron or cardamom that gives it that diffuse, milky quality. The rose has a slightly fruity, jammy quality, it's a preserved thing, not garden fresh. If there's oud in the mix, then it plays the finishing role here – a dab to complete and round out the attar rather than something one immediately picks out.
Attar al Kaaba enfolds you gently until it becomes a sweet emanation of one's skin. It is somewhat chaste, a calming perfume rather than a ravishing one. And while it pleases, it also feels somewhat standardized and unexceptional.
