Taking a whiff from the bottle, I was less than enthused, which implies that I am not partial to the flowery, coconutty, top notes this attar has. However, after 5-10 minutes on the skin, it settles into a more mature, smoky/woody scent that significantly improves the olfactory experience, which I assume is due to the musk and aged agarwood base notes coming to the rescue. The settled scent emanating from the skin reminded me of my childhood when I would be captivated by the way my fashion-conscious male cousins would smell back in the 80s and 90s - a combination of the cologne they would wear and the cigarettes they would smoke. Am not a smoker, can't stand it in fact, but decades later I fondly recollect that distinct combination of aromas coming from them, which I doubt was a deliberate attempt on their part. This attar would, in my opinion, be a good recommendation for men who are in their late 20s at their youngest, and probably most suite for those in their 30s going into their 50s, particularly those who want to give accentuate a more mature, almost western aromatic identity.
