Wild Emerald

Earthy, mineral potato comes first, raw as the damp soil of a forest. Saffron crackles, spicy and precious. Cumin adds a warm, rustic aromatic edge. It is provocative: far from sugar or polished wood. It smells of the land and of something real.
In the heart, labdanum arrives like a sweet, resinous comfort. The rose opens delicately, almost soothing after the spicy harshness. It rises back up out of the mineral. Smooth, creamy sandalwood strikes a balance: softness against roughness. Little by little, the fragrance tips towards more warmth.
In the base, patchouli takes over, earthy and slightly sweet. Nagarmotha brings a green, resinous note reminiscent of foliage. Cedarwood dries and structures. Vanilla and tonka bean arrive creamy and comforting. White musk and amber wrap everything in lasting warmth. It is an adventure somewhere between the wild and the comforting.

Attar Al Has is a perfume house founded in Istanbul in 2021 by Ersin Bas and Sinan Karakas. Its name refers to the tradition of the ‘attar’, the artisan perfumer who extracts, distils and blends raw materials using age-old techniques. The house follows this heritage without trying to reproduce it identically. It develops a contemporary style drawing on references from oriental perfumery. Its positioning rests on a meeting point between different olfactory cultures. Heir to a territory historically situated between East and West, Attar Al Has builds its fragrances by pairing emblematic raw materials such as oud, amber, saffron or spices with more modern structures. The compositions are developed with perfumers from varied backgrounds, from both European and Middle Eastern perfumery, so as to cross approaches rather than set them against each other. This principle also carries through to the bottle design, inspired by Ottoman decorative codes. Conceived as crafted objects, the bottles extend the attention paid to materials and craftsmanship. Attar Al Has thus develops a perfumery built on historical references, while placing them in a contemporary setting.
