Our verdict on Attaquer le Soleil Marquis de Sade: Statement

This is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an audacious single-note wonder that'll have some reaching for their credit card and others for the scrubbing brush. Expect divisive reactions and complex, ever-shifting amber resin that's anything but linear.

Its potent amber and musky accords, coupled with a strong sillage mentioned by some, lean it away from office wear. However, its complex and intriguing character makes it surprisingly versatile, suitable for a confident person on a date or even a formal event if applied sparingly, though it's too heavy for sport.

About

Attaquer le Soleil is a deep dive into labdanum's many faces. It opens with an almost camphorous, balsamic blast, reminiscent of conifer forests or antique wood. This quickly evolves into a rich, resinous amber, sometimes hinting at a dirty smokiness or even a metallic tang. As it settles, a surprising sweetness emerges, intertwined with waxy nuances and an earthy, almost dusty musk, evoking ancient churches or a well-worn leather.
