Our verdict on El Attarine: Favourite

This one's proper weird. A divisive beast of a scent, El Attarine is either an ethereal, honeyed dream or a full-on cumin catastrophe. Approach with caution, as it definitely isn't a safe blind buy.

About

El Attarine opens with a punchy, almost oily cumin blast that's quickly tempered by the sweet, golden embrace of honey and ever so slight apricot. Immortelle weaves in, lending a distinctive herbal and slightly spicy depth, while a gentle woody base anchors the composition, preventing it from becoming overly cloying. It's a sweet, spicy, and somewhat unusual journey from start to finish.
