Salt 2022

Rising Phoenix was THE first artisan company to start making and offering genuine, straight up Ambergris Attars.

The first batches I offered were back in 2011 - and they remain international collectors items.

My 2012 Yeti Attar comes to mind - made from an internationally famous piece of material.

I've made quite a few since. Patiently aging and awaiting their turn.

Mine are a special breed - as I use vintage batches of Mysore, very unique batches of Ambergris - and then I age them for several years, which is unheard of.

Everyone tries to make them as quickly as possible for sale and gives them 6 months, maybe 1 year of aging. Imagine the expense - and the patience - to make multiple batches of meaningful size. To collect enough quantity of rare, very expensive Vintage Mysore Sandalwood oils (and not every vintage batch survived time... about 1 in 6 batches I get I find suitable for my purposes in making these). And then to procure and make use of large quantities of Ambergris just to make a single batch. It is a tremendous expense that goes in to making these.

This particular batch is made from an unknown age of old Mysore and an exquisite single piece of New Zealand Ambergris that we broke down at the last Oudfest we held in Atlanta back in 2022. I think there may be some videos of us breaking it down on our Instagram page.

I do not often offer these publicly, but I wanted to get a superb batch up for our Anniversary.

Although I started the company in 2011 - it was 2014 around Black Friday / Christmas that the company took on the more familiar form that we have operated as for the last 10 years, and as such 2024 is a bit of a 10 Year Anniversary for us. I wanted to put some really unique products out to celebrate this Anniversary - and Salt 2022 is one of them.

I'm known for some unusual stuff - and I'd say this is definitely unique. Wont find anything like it, anywhere else!

This can be worn as-is.

Genuine Ambergris doesn't usually smell like what people think it will smell like. This is your opportunity to become familiar with a genuine specimen and figure out what all the fuss is about! Salty sea air and baby's breath are two of the most common descriptors. It's unique, to say the least.

It exalts whatever it is added to, magically, and pairs wonderfully with Florals, Oud and other woods. Further aging will only beautify this delightful Attar.

It's been years since I offered an Ambergris Attar... this is limited, naturally - and was one of the first things I started making as an official company. 7 years of aging, and going! Be sure to grab a bottle while some is still available.
