For Him
This is the part of the Essent range built for men: oud, leather, vetiver, smoky woods and clean citrus, in alcohol-free roll-on attar and eau de parfum. Gender on a fragrance is a convention rather than a rule, so the sorting here is by weight and character rather than by anything fixed. Notes, wear time and the intended wearer are published on every product page. If you want to know what the raw materials actually smell like, the guide to Indian attar notes covers oud, khus and sandalwood in detail.

He calls it 'my scent'. It has been years.
Why attar?
An oil outlasts a spray.
An alcohol spray pushes scent outward fast, then fades. An attar is the oil on its own, with no ethanol, so it stays where you put it and unfolds over hours instead of minutes. That is why a small roll-on outlasts a much larger bottle of eau de toilette.
