Just as Agar Attar was an approximation of the 'universal oud' scent in the form of a readily wearable and easily accessible parfum, Kinam Attar is also an attempt at approximating a certain scent. Except this time its not just agarwood, its the finest agarwood... Kinam.
Brain melting stuff

I’ll be in touch soon again with my thoughts on Kinam
Attar v1 after more tries. Right now, regarding Kinam
Attar, the most appropriate thing for me to say to you is
BRAVO!!! It is exquisitely lovely - nothing dominates too
much, subtleness at every turn and kinamic whiffs into the
next day. You will know better about this - but I have
heard that one can tell a lot about the skill of a painter
by their treatment of edges and outlines. If I could be
afforded one painterly analogy, I would say that the
olfactory scentscape you’ve composed has such well blended
colors and sfumato transitions that make it a
real delight to try to guide one’s nose to find
the edges. Irresistible. After spraying it on last night,
I immediately regretted not being able to secure another
bottle. Looking forward to v2 like you wouldn’t believe.

Now I have tried the Kinam Attar a few times I can report
I am really enjoying it. It’s kind of what I expected oud
to smell like when I first tried some. Majestic! Maybe one
day I will get my nose of some actual Kinam but if not
then this certainly satisfies.

Kinam attar is offbeat. It is divergent from other sprays
and attars I have smelt, so far. It’s not best in the
league. It belongs to a different league. This league is
where wise men ruminate, wearing Kinam malas, enjoying
rarest of the Oolongs.
Starts off with slightly medicinal and bitter notes like
something from very high grade Sinesis oil. Settles down
on skin like the delicate veil made from most exquisite
see through silk. This is when, Kinam attar takes you on
an odyssey to a far-off land. A pilgrimage, a cosmic
manifestation or a super dimension. Call it whatever you
want.
I have no clue what ingredients or accords have been used
in this perfume. I get something different, each time I
spray it. I get the subtle spiciness of Cinnamon,
somewhere in heart I smell the coolness of Fennel, and if
I take a deep sniff, I get almost minty notes of Borneol.
I would describe it as a woody spicy incense perfume.
There is a very delightful parallel that I draw every time
I sniff it. If you take a piece of aged mahagony or teak
and sand it with coarse sanding paper, you smell fresh
resin and clean wood. I get that note. It is hard to
describe. Perhaps, resin coming out of a wounded teak tree
would smell like it.
Another time it threw me in another dimension and reminded
me of one of the best days of my life. It was when I went
truffle hunting. Accompanying me was my wife’s dad and his
wisdom. After you burrow out then truffles and smell the
soil. This perfume gives off that damp, earthy, forest
floor impression.
It simply captures all the notes that I love. Sweet,
spicy, woody, incense. All the fixins’ are here.
I was fortuitous enough to be able to buy it. I feel so
content that I have this bottle in my possession. It’s
something to cherish. I’ll revere it and treasure it. I
will wear it only when I think I deserve to wear this
scent. This perfume commands that. Applause for Taha. Keep
creating such wonders. This was my first from Agar Aura.
The first of many. I love it.
H.S. (USA)
Taha the composition you put forth is glorious. Let me
tell you how I perceived it from the beginning of opening
this beautiful agaraura box that you had put together for
this release. Holy smokes good golly that's before
spraying it just smelling it from the raw unsprayed bottle
brings to mind visions of the finest ambergris(I don't
believe that you used ambergris in this but that's the
smell i was getting before spraying the bottle) and
proceeding to one small spray on my hand pure bliss and
coming to mind are spades of Darul Aman as it slowly wears
down its just so smooth so awesome and pleasant I'm not
going to even try to break down this beauty or call out
notes but those were just a few things that popped out to
me also I have to ask you did you use any priprioca oil in
this composition? I swear to be getting faint whiffs of it
along side a mild rose but I could be very wrong all I do
know is that it will be a joy to wear and share and oh how
special it is when your spraying a perfume that is of this
caliber and not being stretched out by SYNTHETICS : P take
care Taha and I look forward to seeing V2!!!

Just wanted you to know that I had a full wearing of Kinam
Attar yesterday and I was just blown away. That stuff is
just pure magic. Seriously, my entire day was influenced
by that beautiful aroma all day.
S.C. (USA)
Kinam attar is a sesqueterpene beast...opens up like an
incense store and spicy .. dry down is like the drydown of
AA oils
N.C. (USA)
Hi taha kinam attar has become my favourite fragrance of
all time i am so grateful is there a oil what is similar
or your expert advice i feel i would love any of them hope
i could arrange with you the other 2 perfume attars in the
series you are creating with kinam in near future
J.R. (UK)
This is masterpiece level **** bro. This is a benchmark
for me in oud perfumery. Will be very hard to top.
It is such a masterful scent of perfectly blended
ingredients. The oud is raw yet extremely refine smelling.
Kinamic 100% but with more complexity. Smoke, flowers,
sweetness, bitterness. **** man. I rarely get blown away
like that... This stuff is really nuts man
P.O. (USA)
WOW 🤯
What on earth is this Kinam attar 🤦🏻♂️
MashaAllah absolutely beautiful!
S.A. (Saudi Arabia)
The drydown on Kinam Attar is actually immense you know,
its SO nice!
H.M. (UK)
My favourite from the 3 and possibly my favourite
sprayable Oud perfume ever.
The image I get is of white smoke wafting straight up into
your senses. Lightly sweet, spicy resinous this is Royal
Grade oud on a burner.
R.L. (Canada)
KINAM ATTAR IS MIND BENDING -
Straight up Neo dodging bullets mind bending.
B.R. (USA)
Oud, oud and oud dominate the opening. Oh, and a little
clove and spice.
No barnyard, just different oud oils with varying scents.
Oud novice or veteran this is a treat for your nose.
Kinam is a term thrown around a lot. I’ll leave you to do
your own research as to what it is and why it is so
valued. It is aptly used in this perfume.
I have never tried an oud perfume like this before. It is
unique. I’m quite sure nothing like this exists elsewhere
in spray form. It actually does smell like a type of Kinam
(there are multiple).
Kinam Attar is medicinal, menthol, something slightly
indolic. Hints of vanilla and milk. Some spices in the
background to support the oud. Touches of cola and green
jungle.
After some time I swear I pick up a bubblegum note!
Drydown is splendid, consisting of resinous citrus
sweetness. I can’t stop sniffing!
This is the clear standout from the 1st collection.
Worth the price tag? Yes from me.
Z.H. (UK)
I am wearing Kinam attar today and it is spectacular !
M.N. (UK)
Just smelling kinam attar from the bottle. It's heavenly.
R.J. (USA)
I am wearing Kinam Attar right now and I don't even know
how to describe it. Just pure AA oud with a spicy twist.
Super high end oud oil used in high concentration.
Heavenly.
A.Z. (USA)
Simply divine! Kinam Attar Extrait is so beautiful. Thank
you for your passion and creativity.
S.C. (USA)
wow! I know it's not "real" Kinam, but it gave me quite a
buzz. It's one of the most beautiful scents I've ever
smelled!!
many thanks for your work and generosity.
O.O. (USA)
If it was a Japanese incense you were going for with Kinam
Attar, tell me which and I'll tell you if it's EXACTLY
what I smell.
And if you WEREN'T going for an incense, but rather the
wood itself heated, then, well...this incense company
apparently nailed the scent as well. ☺
C.W. (USA)
What a beautiful composition! Would that we had the gift
of eloquence so that we could give just due to your
accomplishment. High-end Japanese incense in a bottle? The
accords that you artfully bring together in your
compositions are rich in their complexity, subtle in their
tonal colorations, and absolutely brilliant in their
aromatic soundings. It is a real delight to walk among
others accompanied by these gentle airs of fragrant
loveliness, and to share by our simple presence the
wonderful scents of your artisanal creation. Thank you.
J.S. (USA)
Geez... really good job with this one ☺
M.N. (Canada)
The kinam attar is really wonderful, its got to be my
favorite so far!, Im ordering a bottle, fantastic work!
M.B. (USA)
Kinam is such a dynamic attar. I'm getting a lemony
citrus, a minty/menthol, a bit of jammy blueberry, and a
touch of ambergris, all with a nice low-end bass and an
unmistakable oud bring it all together. The range of notes
is so wide. There is so much more going on here.
