The Queen Of Sheba

The Queen Of Sheba, inspired by Attar Collection The Queen of Sheba (2015)

Velvety stone fruit sets the tone: peach and apricot, ripe but not sticky. Vetiver and narcissus run underneath the fruit, adding an earthy, faintly hay-like contrast. Jasmine and rose fill the heart, while cashmeran, a modern musky-woody material with a soft, suede-like feel, gives it texture. The drydown is apricot-tinted osmanthus, sandalwood and patchouli wrapped in white musk.

About the original

Attar Collection, a UAE house that describes its range as handcrafted niche perfumes, launched The Queen of Sheba for women in 2015 and calls it its 'Black Masterpiece'. The brand's own note list differs from the one given in some fragrance references, which add tobacco leaf, incense and amber. That may reflect a change in formula, but it has not been confirmed. The copy here follows the official notes.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Attar Collection stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Fruity-floral fans who want something richer than a fresh spring scent should start here. The peach and apricot are prominent, so it may feel too fruity for anyone who wants a dry, smoky oriental.

Does The Queen of Sheba smell of tobacco?
