Not at all all what was expected.
Reply from Ensar Oud
Hi Oways,
Thank you for sharing your impression.
We understand that the Attar Sampler Set was not what you personally expected. At the same time, expectation and quality are two very different things. A composition not matching what one had imagined does not, in itself, reflect a lack of quality in the product.
Ensar Oud attars are not created in the style of mainstream perfume. They are composed with natural oud oils, precious florals, resins, musks, and heirloom aromatics of a caliber rarely used in modern perfumery. We produce our own artisanal oud oils and carefully source select natural materials from around the world, many of which are far too rare, costly, or difficult to work with for conventional perfume houses.
Because of that, the experience can be very different from what someone may expect if they are used to synthetic, mass-market fragrance structures. Natural oud and traditional attars do not always reveal themselves immediately. They can be complex, dense, evolving, and unfamiliar at first, especially when encountered for the first time.
Personal taste will always vary, and you are of course entitled to your opinion. Not every composition will resonate with every person. But we do stand firmly behind the quality of the materials, the artistry of the compositions, and the care that goes into each attar we release.
We would encourage you to spend more time with the samples, apply them sparingly, and revisit them in different settings. Often, with natural aromatics of this depth, the journey begins only after the first impression.
