At first scent of this olfactory beast you will be hit by the sheer projection ability of musk. many people will tell you that when smelling a musk pod you will experience a sensation similar to a nose bleed – and that is exactly the ommph that you will feel here. Then comes the animalic warmth, not like the animal hide or barn, but like hugging fur. Then lovely apple and pear peel, together with a zesty, not full citrus but peels, rose wood like scent (not rose). Followed by the beautiful buttery honey goodness that mysore is famous for, add a touch of spice in memory of her hay days. This isn’t any mysore oil this is the crème de crème from the Government Soap Factory.

HEKAYAT can be worn neat on your skin and it lasts a very long time 10 hours + and projects very very well, filling a whole room very easily. What excites me in offering this to you is that if you are an enthusiast this will be the perfect medium to build your attar on. Hekayat gives you the chance to work with a sandalwood and musk base prepared by a perfumer, and this can be your benchmark to work towards.

Some of you may cry ‘just musk and sandalwood?’ – yes and no, whilst this may be true rest assured you have never smelled anything like this before, your mind will be shifted and your blood pumped – this will give you a paradigm shift in your olfactory experience.

Musk, and what do you know about Musk? Glorified throughout history and revered as a fine fragrance element, there has been much dialogue on Musk and in particular plenty of interest in ‘how Al Shareef prepares his Musk grains?’.
