Abu Haashir Perfumes

Khak-e-Assam is built on a foundation of rose and oud. Wearing a fragrance from this house typically feels dense and resinous, driven by the heavy presence of Indian oud and Cambodian oud. The animalic accord runs through the range, giving the compositions a raw, untamed edge that sits close to the skin.

Sandalwood provides a woody counterpoint to the sharpness of the oud, while the overall profile is rounded out by powdery and amber nuances. The rose material is prominent throughout, weaving through the darker elements to add a floral softness without masking the intensity of the materials. The result is a stark, unisex character defined by the interplay between deep woodiness and stark animalic notes.
