Attar Al Has Perfumes: A Complete Guide to Every Fragrance (2026)

Attar Al Has is a Turkish niche perfume house founded in Istanbul in 2021 by Ersin Baş and Sinan Karakaş, two industry veterans who build oriental extraits around oud, amber, damask rose and saffron and house them in bottles modeled on Ottoman jewellery. The name says the intent: "Attar" for the old art of perfumery, "Al Has" for personal luxury. We stock five Attar Al Has extraits at Redolia, all priced around $305–$315, and this guide covers each one with the facts we can verify and how the range fits together.

A note on honesty: where a fragrance's full note breakdown is published, we give it. For the newer scents where only the fragrance family is documented, we say so rather than invent a pyramid.

The story of Attar Al Has

Attar Al Has launched out of Istanbul in 2021. Its two founders each bring long careers in the industry, and the house positions itself where a lot of Turkish niche now sits: Eastern materials and structure, contemporary execution, and presentation aimed at the luxury end. The signature palette is oriental — oud, amber, rose and saffron recur across the line.

What stands out on the bench is the company it keeps. Attar Al Has works with a roster of established perfumers, several of whom you will recognize from other houses: Marc Daniel Heimgartner, Mohammad Tammam Mando, Hüseyin Erdoğmuş and Karine Vinchon Spehner all appear on the fragrances we carry. For a house only a few years old, that is a serious address book, and it shows in the quality of the two scents whose formulas are fully published.

Every Attar Al Has fragrance we carry, explained

Attar Al Has Passion Oud

Passion Oud (extrait, $305) is the one to smell first, and the name is a bit of a misdirection: it is a chypre-fruity, not a dark oud bomb. Composed by Mohammad Tammam Mando, it opens on blackcurrant syrup, moves through May rose and freesia, and dries down on ambroxan, sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli. The effect is a jammy berry-rose over clean woods — brighter and more wearable than the "Oud" in the title suggests. Buy it if you want a fruity-floral chypre; do not buy it expecting a heavy Arabian oud.

Attar Al Has Leather Effecto

Leather Effecto (extrait, $305), by Hüseyin Erdoğmuş, is the other fully-documented scent and the most distinctive. Rum, saffron and nutmeg up top; jasmine in the heart; vanilla, sandalwood, labdanum, amber and musk at the base. Despite the name it reads more boozy-spicy-ambery than raw leather — the rum-and-saffron opening is the star, with a warm, sweet-resinous drydown. A cold-weather extrait for anyone who likes spiced, slightly gourmand orientals.

Attar Al Has My Magic

My Magic (extrait, $305), also by Mohammad Tammam Mando, sits in the amber family. Its full note pyramid is not publicly documented, so we will not guess it — what we can say is that it works the house's amber-and-rose signature and, per the brand, develops differently from its siblings despite a shared rose thread. One to test in person if amber orientals are your lane.

Attar Al Has Exquisite

Exquisite (extrait, $305) is the gourmand of the line, composed by Marc Daniel Heimgartner. As with My Magic, the detailed notes are not published, so we are describing it by family: a sweet, dessert-leaning oriental extrait. If you already love gourmands and want to try this house's take, this is the entry — but test before you commit, since we cannot yet point to a verified pyramid.

Attar Al Has Skin Musk

Skin Musk (extrait, $315) is the floral of the group, by Karine Vinchon Spehner, and the softest, most skin-close option. Again the full notes are not published; it reads as a floral-musk built for intimacy rather than sillage. The pick if you want something quiet and clean rather than the house's louder orientals.

Attar Al Has comparison table

Which Attar Al Has fragrance should you choose?

Start with Passion Oud — it is the most crowd-pleasing and one of the two with a fully published, verifiable formula. Go to Leather Effecto if you want spice, rum and warmth for cold weather. Choose Skin Musk if you want something soft and close rather than loud. For My Magic and Exquisite, test in person first: they are amber and gourmand respectively, both extraits, but their full notes are not yet documented, so we would rather you smell them than take an invented description on faith.
