Kaff Attar

The quiet intensity of an antique leather-bound book on a well-worn shelf, where citrus and floral notes mingle with the subtle smokiness of aged wood.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Kaff Attar by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2017 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, the brand's master perfumer. This composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic top note, featuring pink pepper and ginger, creating an immediate sense of freshness and spice. The heart unfolds with floral notes like iris and magnolia, adding depth and warmth. As it settles into its base, Kaff Attar reveals rich leather and smoky undertones, intertwined with amber, cedar, sandalwood, and tonka bean, which give the fragrance a complex, animalic edge.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced blend of freshness and warmth. The smoky base notes take time to develop, so it's best worn throughout the day as they gradually come into focus.
