- Sultan Pasha Perfumer:
Sultan Pasha Attars is a London - based niche perfume house founded by the eponymous Sultan Pasha. Specializing in non - diluted attars, the brand creates olfactory masterpieces using high - grade essential oils, floral absolutes, butters, and resinoids, with a significant proportion of animalic elements, which adds a unique and complex touch to their scents.
Since its establishment in 2012, Sultan Pasha Attars has released a collection of 60 perfumes as of now, all masterfully crafted by Sultan Pasha himself. His journey into perfumery is rather interesting. Initially on a path towards organic chemistry, financial and family pressures led him to a bank job he disliked. However, his passion for essential oils, which he used to uplift his mood, gradually developed into a full - fledged career in perfumery after a period of losing and then regaining his sense of smell.
The brand's offerings cover a wide range of scents. For example, "Al Hareem" (2015) combines the richness of rose, butter, and saffron in the top - note, with middle - notes of rose and sandalwood, and base - notes of oud, musk, hyrax, ambergris, and tobacco, creating a warm and sensuous fragrance. "Oud Douce Amère" (2018) has its own allure, presenting a unique blend that explores the duality of oud.
"Sultan Pasha Attars" products are known for their high quality and often come at a premium price, with some of their perfume oils being referred to as "liquid gold" due to the use of rare ingredients like oud and ambergris, as well as the complex and time - consuming production process. Each fragrance tells a story, drawing inspiration from various cultures and emotions, appealing to perfume connoisseurs who seek something extraordinary and artisanal in the world of scents.
