Hatria presents a bold, complex blend centered around rose, saffron, and oud, with a distinctive marine and metallic undercurrent that unfolds over time. The opening is intensely aromatic—spicy, sweet, and sharp—featuring clove, jasmine, and saffron, which some find overwhelming or aggressive. As the scent evolves, it reveals a warm woody base with earthy notes of agarwood, labdanum, and sandalwood, giving it depth and a surprisingly ethereal quality, especially in later stages. A hint of caramel and sweet musk adds a creamy layer, while the metallic note introduces an unusual, slightly seaweed-like facet that lingers in the drydown. The fragrance feels rich and dark, yet light enough for longer wear, particularly in cooler months. Its sillage is moderate to strong, lasting up to several hours, making it suitable for evening wear or seasonal use in autumn and winter. Some find the initial sharpness too intense, especially if they dislike soapy or avante-garde styles, while others appreciate its unapologetic boldness and unique character.
