Attars
Attar is the name given to the fragrant oil made from extract of flowers, herbs, woods etc.
'Attar' or the non alcohol based perfumes had their own charm. The modern day science recognizes the miracles that smells can do but we at Lucknow had perfected this more than two centuries ago. A tiny bottle of attar can cost so expensive depending on the quality, age and powers. It is said that these age old perfumes get embedded into the body and the body emits the perfume. A story goes that Wajid Ali Shah used to sweat a lot while dancing - thus an attar was developed specially for him which turned his sweat into a fragrance and the people in the court would re-use his sweat thereafter as a perfume itself. These perfumes can be chosen from the well decked windows of the royal perfumers MDSR in Kannauj.
These Natural Perfume Oils are the purest Non-alcoholic fragrance perfume and the most long lasting perfume.
Floral attar may be defined as the distillates obtained by the steam distillation of flowers in sandalwood oil. Attar is still manufactured by the traditional ‘Deg and Bhapka’ method. It is the purest non alcoholic fragrances and the most lasting perfumes in the world.
