About Aziz Attar...

Many not familiar with my work may not know that I am a licensed medical practitioner specializing in Chinese and East Asian medicine, as well as a perfumer and compounder of various Japanese and Arabian-style incense. While this is an unusual combination of skills for a resident of the Western hemisphere, I am often humbled because many of my perfume clients have also become my patients, and vice versa. Aziz Attar was incepted precisely because of the two worlds in which I find myself.

In 2015, an utterly lovely fellow named Aziz became ill and reached out to me for some oils and incense. He asked me for products to help ease his Mind and Spirit through his illness and pain. Thus at first he was a discerning perfume client, but eventually became both my patient and a close friend.

Through our discourse, I have learned that my new friend has a compelling and unique life story. In fact, his story is so fascinating that I recently learned that PBS will be producing a documentary about his unique and inspiring life. While he is excited to begin his newest and most unexpected journey in life, now I was the one feeling inspired!

Borrowing from both his faith and the high spiritual value he places on perfumery ingredients, and combining this with my understanding of the materials from a medicinal perspective, I wanted to compose a fragrance that might comfort him through his illness. After experimenting with various combinations of ingredients which were custom-crafted by artisans in India, Aziz Attar was born.

"Today I'm sampling Aziz Attar by The Rising Phoenix Perfumery. Holy Crap this is good! Super natural, deep, complex, spiritual. I've never smelled anything like this. Resinous, balmy, medicinal, ambery, smooth, incensey, buttery, mildly sweet, woody. The touch of florals from the frangipani and Champa Attar ingredient add a beautiful complexity to the amber and resinous notes. The inspirational story behind the creation of Aziz Attar is extremely heartwarming. I highly recommend checking it out. Joseph DeLapp's creations have the best inspirations behind their creations. They definitely show the passion that goes into their fine craftsmanship."
