‘Composed on the foundation of Tibetan Musk and prepared in the distinct manner of Al Shareef, this prized ingredient was macerated in Mysore sandalwood for 1 whole year and then steeped for a further 2 years in a tantalising blend of Oudhs, Woods, Resins and Roses. The final musk preparation had been aged for 3 whole years prior to its application in this unique masterpiece. The musk maceration was then artistically blended with 4 different types of exclusive Oudh. After some resting patchouli, bergamot and varying quantities of classical vintage Hindi, 2 types of Malaysian and a royal Chinese Oudh were added. After additional resting, rose and touches of golden-brown ambergris were added to create a sensational musk masterpiece. Turath, opens with what is known as the heat of the deer beast. In the wild when the male musk deer is ready to mate or is ‘in heat’ as it is commonly known, it spreads the musk excretion around its surroundings signalling its readiness to mate. This particular excretion radiates a deep animalic heat – it is this heat that first flares and is experienced when Turath is applied. A smokeless, fireless, fragrant wave of heat closely followed by a sweet animalic leather with undertones of lightly fermented apples and dew melons. Whispers of musky patchouli drizzles through with the flourish of rose welcoming spicy woods and musky hay with dustings of nutty earth.‘ – Al Shareef Oudh
