{"title":"La Via Del Profumo","description":"Abdes Salaam Attar (La Via del Profumo) is both the name of the artisanal Italian brand and the adopted name of its French-born perfumer, Dominique Dubrana. Abdes Salaam Attar is a revered name amongst those who appreciate 100% natural perfumery and perfumes constructed in the Eastern (attar) style. Based in Italy, the brand is famous for its fidelity to the highest quality natural raw materials and its ethical approach to making perfume. Luca Turin, author of Perfumes: The Guide, awarded several of Abdes Salaam Attar fragrances the highly-coveted four star rating, including Sensemilla, Tabac, Milano Caffé, and Hindu Kush.","products":[{"product_id":"cuoio-dei-dolci-by-la-via-del-profumo","title":"Cuoio Dei Dolci","description":"Literally translating to \"Sweet Leather,\" Cuoio dei Dolci is a rare kind of hybrid- one that draws equally from the smoky animalic intensity of leather and the mouthwatering richness of a gourmand to create a perfectly balanced, exquisitely sensual treasure. This 100% natural confection, described by none other than Luca Turin as \"a gingerbread ottoman that hits all the buttons,\" features a heavy dose of castoreum as its primary ingredient- intense, animalic, and primally erotic. But lest you worry that Cuoio dei Dolci tilts too far towards the carnal, a luxurious counterweight of powdered, vanillic tonka softens the harsh edges, joining a sweet, naturalistic tobacco leaf to refine the leather and stir the senses. Supplemental notes of earthy cocoa, smooth vanilla, and sweet ylang add to the indulgent sophistication, while a base of robust, creamy sandalwood keeps everything at the perfect intersection of the dining room and the smoking parlor. Lovers of sophisticated, refined, non-sugary gourmand scents- look no further.","brand":"La Via Del Profumo","offers":[{"title":"15.5ml","offer_id":46717386621249,"sku":"81611_R","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":50658721890625,"sku":"81611_S","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/81611.jpg?v=1754968673"},{"product_id":"oud-caravan-no-3-by-la-via-del-profumo","title":"Oud Caravan No. 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbdes Salaam Attar’s Oud Caravan series is the world’s first (and probably only) crowd-sourced oud perfume collection. Commissioned by an Arab customer to compose an oud perfume for the Gulf region, Dominique Dubrana decided to make it an open source project, enlisting the help of a group of oud connoisseurs on Basenotes.com to stress-test his offering. Oud Caravan No. 1 was originally intended to be the sole perfume in the endeavor – what Dubrana termed ‘the Ultimate Oud Fragrance” – but like a really good conversation with a circle of friends, nobody wanted it to end. Riffing off each other in endlessly creative ways, Dubrana harnessed the energy of the group to create the first, then second, and finally third Oud Caravan. Today, all three Oud Caravan perfumes fit together thematically and sequentially as a cohesive statement on the mysterious material that is oud oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOud Caravan No. 3 is the culmination of Dubrana’s work on the Caravan series, and the version he feels best encapsulates his vision of a universally-pleasing oud scent. Removing the sharp camphoraceous topnotes that presaged both Caravan No. 1 and No. 2, Dubrana envelops the wild agarwood oil in a warm, fudgy date-like sweetness, using dried fruit and amber notes to subtly nudge the texture dial from leather to velvet. Rich and mellow, Oud Caravan No. 3 goes down smoothly, like a 50-year-old Scotch. Remarkably, Dubrana has steered the oudiness of this scent away from the jungly wetness of the first two scents and towards an airiness that feels like the windows being thrown open onto a closed-up room. As smoky as it is rich, Oud Caravan No. 3 is just animalic enough to remind you that you’re wearing real oud, but smooth enough for you to enjoy it without the steep learning curve. As great for women as it is for men.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Via Del Profumo","offers":[{"title":"50ml","offer_id":46717387178305,"sku":"81610","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15.5ml","offer_id":46717387211073,"sku":"81610_R","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":50658717696321,"sku":"81610_S","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/81610.jpg?v=1754968780"},{"product_id":"tabac-by-la-via-del-profumo","title":"Tabac","description":"\u003cp\u003eTobacco fragrances often get the ‘weight’ thing wrong. Too much amber or vanilla, and it sinks under the heft of its own richness, but too light and it feels like a sheer wash of ash on the skin. Tabac by Abdes Salaam Attar gets it right by pairing a bold tobacco leaf with a sheer dried-fruit amber and a bitter, earthy vanilla - elements that serve to modulate each other’s behavior and sidestep any excessive sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tobacco leaf in Tabac is raw and uncured, even a bit rough around the edges. Its honest-to-goodness rustic charm is complemented by the quasi-animalic woodiness of sticky black vanilla pod and the buttery, cherry-almond bitterness of tonka bean. As you might imagine, the result is incredibly rich. But fear not! The resinous amber underpinning the tobacco, vanilla, and tonka bean crown is so dry that there’s no danger of this tipping over into syrup. Tabac is simply vigorous, handsome, and very well-built. It’s the perfect mid-weight tobacco perfume: substantial enough to be satisfying and spacious enough to wear without feeling crushed under the weight of super-rich materials.

Thus, the marine-like inkiness of the oakmoss connects with the rooty earthiness of vetiver via the crunch of sea salt and a shadowy ‘forest floor’ gloom. In the background, a dry, minimally smoky sandalwood provides a palette against which the notes of earth, grass, root, and lichen can really pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrangely, for a scent so heavily inspired by the elements of earth, grass, moss, and wood, Oakmoss is far more elegant and ‘pulled together’ than the kind of scent you’d throw on for a hike in the woods.

It’s rich but definitely not sweet, a hint of fiery cinnamon in the opoponax lending a nubbin of spice that adds texture to the silken flow. A dash of incense additionally lends an interesting salt-n-pepper tartness that stops any gourmandise in its tracks.

Mecca Balsam is both sacred and divine, therefore, pitching the throat-catching aridity of incense against the warm, sweet embrace of flowers and amber.

In the Middle East and India, some attars are composed specifically to protect the soul from djinns, or evil spirits. In the West, we use citrusy colognes to refresh the body in hot weather. Both concepts are rooted in the belief that certain materials in perfumery possess an excoriating, cleansing power to drive out bad spirits and bad smells.
