Ensar Rose
by Sultan Pasha Attars
Ensar Rose by Sultan Pasha Attars is a deeply layered, luxurious rose fragrance that balances sweetness and opulence with a subtle animalic depth. It opens with a creamy, honeyed rose accord, rich and soft, heightened by Bulgarian rose absolute and a hint of vanilla. The heart features a soft tuberose infusion, blended with vetiver and ambergris, lending a faint incense quality and green woodiness that gives the scent character without dominating. The base unfolds with warm, buttery aged Mysore sandalwood and a smooth, supple oud that avoids the typical leathery or smoky roughness, instead offering a subtle, golden-hued sweetness akin to amber and toffee. The fragrance evolves gently, with surprising depth in its dry down, where the rose mellows into a slightly fermented, honeyed richness overlaying the sandalwood and ambergris. It performs well over seven hours, leaving a soft, intimate sillage that lingers close to the skin, especially as the oud and sandalwood take over. It leans feminine but suits unisex wearers seeking a refined, emotive scent with romantic, dreamlike quality.
Pros
- +Exceptional rose quality with multiple rose otto types offering depth and realism
- +Smooth, luxurious sandalwood and oud create a warm, opulent dry down that's highly wearable
- +Longevity is strong and sillage is intimate but well-proportioned, making it suitable as a date scent
Cons
- −The initial tuberose and vetiver phase can feel out of place or vernal, leading some to find it less appealing early on
- −Faintly medicinal or acidic notes in certain wearings may put off those sensitive to green or herbal tones
- −Slight animalic hint from the oud added for depth, which might disturb those with low tolerance for animalic smokiness
