Hindi Hay Oud

Oud oils can get a little pricey on their own. They can also sometimes be an acquired taste. I’ve been wanting to add a few Oud Attars to the Shibui Series - as these are put together in a way that “opens up” these concentrated essences in a very friendly and approachable way.

This “Hindi Hay” Attar really allows the sweetness of the Leather and Hay nuances from the region, quintessential components to many Hindi Oud oils, to shine through in an easily accessible way.

They are a great value and an easy wear, and also make for versatile bases to layer with other oils from the Shibui Series 🥰

ABOUT SHIBUI SERIES

I had originally made some Attars for some Japanese in-laws.

They were wanting something... Shibui.

Shibui (渋い) (adjective), shibumi (渋み) (noun), or shibusa (渋さ) (noun) are Japanese words which refer to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. Like other Japanese aesthetics terms, such as iki and wabi-sabi, shibui can apply to a wide variety of subjects, not just art or fashion.

When they first smelled them, they said simply, “these are stunningly beautiful”.

Friends and family of theirs eventually started asking for them - and I figured it was high time to start offering these here in my shop. Seems folks love them.

These are simple solo-fleur compositions, as opposed to my more complex Attars that I’ve become quite well-known for. These are less expensive and more straight forward single-flower Attar scents.

Simple. Subtle. Unobtrusive beauty.

With that said...they are stunningly beautiful!
