Frequently asked questions
What is Attar?
Attar is a traditional form of natural perfume that originates from the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and parts of North Africa. It is made by distilling flowers, herbs, and other plant materials into pure essential oils, often using a method of steam distillation or hydro-distillation. The resulting fragrance is typically alcohol-free and highly concentrated.
Is it 100% Alcohol Free?
Yes absolutely! Unlike many modern perfumes, attars do not contain alcohol, which makes them a preferred choice for individuals seeking alcohol-free fragrances due to religious, cultural, or personal reasons.
How long does the fragrance last?
Attars are typically very concentrated and tend to last much longer on the skin compared to synthetic perfumes, sometimes lasting up to 24 hours or more, depending on the fragrance.
How do I apply Attar?
Applying attar perfume is a simple and enjoyable process that enhances your scent experience. Start by selecting a suitable location on your body where the fragrance can be most effective, such as pulse points like your wrists, neck, behind the ears, or even on your chest. Since attar is concentrated, you only need to apply a small amount; a drop or two is usually sufficient. Dab the attar gently onto your skin using your fingertips, avoiding any vigorous rubbing, as this can alter the fragrance. For a longer-lasting scent, you might also consider applying it to your hair or clothes, keeping in mind that attar is oil-based and can leave marks on some fabrics. Allow the fragrance to settle for a moment before moving on with your day, and enjoy the rich, captivating aroma that lingers with you.
What are the ingredients?
Attars are created using only natural ingredients, including flowers (such as roses, jasmine, and sandalwood), herbs, spices, and sometimes fruits or woods. These are distilled to extract their pure essence, and no synthetic chemicals or alcohols are used in the process.
