By January 27th, 2000, the family story was entering a new chapter. What had to survive was not only a place, but generations of scent knowledge, records, materials, and memory.

In April 2001, Abd Al-Jabbar Al-Attar’s generation came to an end after carrying older knowledge into the modern world. Mohammed carried the active craft forward, while Ali began to understand that lineage is not only history, it is responsibility.

Connected to the Saddam Hussein period , this preserved certificate became part of the House archive, carrying the memory of Ali Attar’s private scent work from Baghdad into the recorded history of The Perfumist. “If there’s a cheaper bottle, bet your money we’ll choose it. If there’s a better material, bet your life we’ve already used it.”

In 2002, Ali Attar’s work reached Saddam Hussein , where a rose-led scent preparation became a private presidential musk commission built on rare materials, family knowledge, and trusted hands.

By September 20th, 2003, the work had begun again in a new country. The bottles, shelves, and carried materials show that the House was not rebuilt through display, but through quiet preservation inside the family home.

By June 24th, 2007, Ali was growing closer to the archive that had traveled with the family. Mohammed kept the old methods alive in a new setting, proving the House was never tied to one place, but to the knowledge carried through it.
