Hatria

I thought this was a pretty classic rose-out patchouli, though I do get the metallic note right at the very first spritz. It's odd, granted. It lasts about two minutes, and then there is a synthetic wood in there that burns the nostril hairs a tad--and that too passes. Ten minutes in, and this is a lovely wafting rose-oud-patch. While not at the level of some of the iconic rose fragrances whether they are POAL or Ford's CF, etc., this has a level of competence that is both pleasant and familiar. I don't find it too terribly original, but I do enjoy it. The dry down does go in an oddly soapy direction at times, and so the musk is not the predominant note toward the end for me (thankfully). You do have to be a rose lover to appreciate and I am, so I do, but there are probably better takes on this. I still love POAL and Tauer's work as well as Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit. But this is an enjoyable wear; test drive and see what you think.

Nice rose/oud/saffron perfume. Similar to perfumes like shades wood by armar, rose oud by monotheme or oud silk mood by Francis kurkdjian. It is not very original, nothing that i havent smelt before but It is nice and the quality is high. This could be a good option if you dont have still any perfume in tour collection which goes un this line Scent: 9 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 5 Versatility: 7 Originality: 5 Global: 8

Hatria pairs oud with the rose (a rare Italian variety) in but the addition of a salt accord and caramel note in the heart makes the formula translucent and baroque like stained glass rather than heavy woody...

I found Hatria to be another very nice scent from this creator. It opens with a nice saffron and jasmine with a background of cloves. After that wears off, the heart of the fragrance smelled like a rose and balsam mix. Though I didn’t get much caramel, I did smell its sweetness later on during the dry down. Someone mentioned a “soapy rose” adjective in a previous review and I had never really thought about it that way, but yes that is there as well. However, I personally don’t mind it in this fragrance. The conclusion of this fragrance was a sweet, woody mix. I would definitely add this to my list of future purchases.

I really dislike the opening to this, which is a mishmash of powdery, metallic, salty and sweet notes. It's harsh on the nose, obnoxious and hard to bear. But the dry down is very nice - a sweet, warm rose. It's not worth a full bottle because I have to wait too long for the payoff, but you might get there more quickly than I did.

Very fresh saffron-rose (but not obvious rose). Fresh flowery opening twisting into direction of cypriol as dominant with rose and safron at a distance and all remaining notes ans background undetectable separatelly. Niche but not very difficult. Perfect unisex. Longevity is poor. After 6h gone. A nice one.

Hatria is the line’s token soapy rose, but it starts off with dizzying combination of (what smells to me like) grapefruit, berries, spices, burned chocolate, oud, and coniferous items. It’s bombastic and overwhelming. Part of what makes it so overwhelming is not just the volume (it is very, very loud), but the discord of bitter rose alongside soap and charred semi-gourmand items that, although they smell edible, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to put in their mouths. The degree of discord is akin to A*Men (although this smells nothing like A*Men) in that has a similar visceral effect on me, and it’s not a good one. After fifteen minutes or so, Hatria calms down a notch, but it’s still a foghorn of a fragrance; the syrupy rose and the weirdly savory-sweet undercurrent remain intact throughout much of this stretch. It’s an dextrous effect, clearly one that's well thought out, but I personally find it too burdensome and too over the top to handle. After thirty minutes or so, it’s mainly bitter rose in which the soapier facets surface more and more — and that’s where it ends up and stays for quite some time with boozy moments popping up here and there. Once the clattery opening has died off, I find that it’s a bit easier to take, but at that point I'm exhausted by it. This is so far beyond my comfort zone as I generally dislike prominent rose notes, soapy perfumes, and scents that smell like an avant-garde meal. I’d say that it’s accomplished and give it credit for being as bold as it is, but it’s only going to appeal to a specific audience. There’s nothing subtle here; it’s screaming from start to finish. Although it doesn’t smell modern, it has none of the old-world charm that others in the line convey. If you like screechy Montales, the complexity of older Amouage, and are okay with cavalcade of concepts, it’s worth a sniff. Although it ends up as fairly linear soapy rose, that opening is total insanity, which, I'm sure would map onto someone’s personality quite well.

Sweet saffron roses with some sweet European type of oud. It is quite blessing but be aware of the sharpness! cause the most sharp notes are there, the roses and the saffron. I wish there were more sweet and less roses-saffron to lighten the sharpness it brings. Quite good and i would classify this one as the second i like after Liquo. Edit (23rd May 2016) The top note of sweet roses is the best of this fragrance but unfortunately it doesn't last long as it vanishes after 20 minutes max leaving the atmosphere to be fully sharply rosy which makes it too sharp to me nose (like peppery rose). I wish the sweet lasts more than the roses itself but unfortunately it doesn't. i do regret it. Edit (21 Feb 2021) Sweet roses! as a top note! WTH i was sniffing 5 years ago! it's on my arm now and i am sniffing pure red sharp roses as a top note. Bit by bit i am started to sniff something kind of metallic with some sort of oud and no it's not the European style oud as i mentioned above! It's quite Arabian style oud but there is something bitter! something like a seaweed! it is salty, kind of metallic with a touch of musk. Honestly, i don't like this sepcific salty metallic note that i am getting whiffs of but to be honest if it wasn't for this specific note then this blend would have gone quite normal (standard) rose blend. After all, it's a nice blend but not quite amazing as i thought it should.

A good way to realize a fragrance is exceptionally good is when it involves a good amount of notes you're generally not very keen to, and it's still able to completely catch your interest. This is Hatria for me. I'm definitely not a rose-oud combo fan but this composition is so serious that's basically impossible to overlook. So, it's a saffrony-rose on top. Very arabic in feel, thick, dark and kind of unpolished and yet completely devoided of the challenging aspect that certain similarly themed fragrances can often show. It's a butch, rich opening but it's immediately joined by a hint of burnt-caramel that tames it a bit while providing some roundness and, paradoxically, even more body. A woody base remarks its presence right away with a leathery-oudy bone-structure and vetiver facets (probably the nagarmotha). It's far removed from the usual dry-woody stuff we're used to when it comes to westerner iterations of oud. The fragrance feels deep and dark yet somewhat smooth, airy and weightless while maintaining a certain thickness throughout. It's bold but not heavy-handed, with an insane lasting-power while being completely able to not result exhausting. So classy and masterfully executed to have absolutely nothing to envy to the biggest *hits* in its genre. Seriously, very solid stuff. Rating: 7.5/10

Hatria is a gorgeous rose that is reminding me of 2013 or 14 – I’m on the 73X here and dealing with a bit more dread than I currently have in my life. It’s a Jo Malone Rose Oud ‘rose’ and a bit of sour-bitterness behind it. I’m tempted to say it’s a quote “rose oud” unquote, and I’m inclined to say that this may be a bit of a “it was a scent of its time” kinda scent where EVERYONE was doing this at this time. Hell, I think even Ferrari made a rose-oud scent. Suffice it to say that 10 years ago I settled on one, and even though this one is late to the party, I don’t think this one would’ve pushed too far into the final elimination stages were I to have been with it then. It’s a pleasant scent, no doubt at all, it’s just remarkably similar to about 6 or 8 other scents I chose against almost a decade ago. Still worth a sniff. It might be YOUR rose-oud...

A classic oud-saffron-rose combo in the opening, but then little by little a vivid marine accord takes over. You have to wait for it, though; don't judge too quick. From there on, it sounds as if a ship full of precious oils sank deep in the sea near the Levant. Stays light and ethereal as a windy beach, yet at the same time solid and present. One of those rare ouds you can take on a summer vacation.

To me this is an overpowering rose. Sometimes I like rose, but most of the time I don't. I would have liked to get more spice and woods, but the rose just dominates it all. Sweet caramel in the background. Drydown a bit better as rose fades. All in all not a love for me.

A rose-oud that smells just like a sea of rose-oud fragrances release around the same time. This one is the strongest of the Angela Ciampagna line in term of sillage and longevity, however it still feels very weak and diluted.
