For those of you unfamiliar with the name, AbdesSalaam Attar is an Italian perfumer (born "Dominique Dubrana") who became a Sufi convert. His all-natural creations for his Italian house of La Via del Profumo are some of Luca Turin's favorites, several of which have received Five Star reviews. His last scent, Venezia Gardini Segreti (which I've reviewed here) was included on Luca Turin's list of the Best Releases of 2014 on his column for Style Arabia. And The New York Times calls AbdesSalaam "a genius of sorts," "a Saracen Willy Wonka." Yet, to me, and in my mind, he is above all else, first and foremost, a gentleman - and I mean that in every sense of that word. He is a very gentle, extremely courteous man, one whose vast knowledge is imbued with an old-world, Eastern mysticism and spirituality, as well as enormous humility and modesty. His words may seem simple on the surface, but they are usually laced with layers of meaning that often make me think deeply long after I've read them. Perhaps it's because of his philosophical nature, or perhaps it's AbdesSalaam's very unique world view that stems from his travels far and wide. Whatever it is, there is a thoughtful quality to both the man and his creations that always shines through. Regardless of whether a particular fragrance works for me or not, they are always distinctive and unique, always seem to convey either emotion or a sense of a place, and always beautifully crafted.
