Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional Indian attars are natural fragrance oils made using age-old distillation techniques that originated in India. They are created by distilling flowers, herbs, spices, woods, or resins into a natural base oil, traditionally sandalwood oil. These attars are valued for their deep aroma, cultural heritage, and long-lasting fragrance.

Natural raw materials are slowly distilled, and the aromatic vapors are absorbed into a base oil. This slow and careful process preserves the true character and richness of the natural ingredients.
