Of winter nights.”– Bihari (1595-1664)

Value for money. Initially it seemed bit strong, but surprisingly it turned out into soothing deep earthy and aroma. I could notice changes in its fragrance with time. Loved that part.

I bought this product a few months ago and have been using it for the summer. Initially I felt the fragrance was too strong (have been using perfumes all this while) but soon I started to develop a taste for it. The fragrance is long lasting and unlike the perfumes I keep getting hints of the Attar occasionally throughout the day.
Highly recommended
