Why people choose attar over spray perfume
Attar is pure perfume oil, so a little goes a long way: one or two dabs on the wrists, neck or behind the ears is enough for the day. Because it has no alcohol it sits close to the skin, wears softly and usually lasts longer than a spray of the same scent.
Many of our customers wear attar for prayer and for Ramadan and Eid because it is alcohol-free. Others simply prefer an oil that does not dry the skin and is easy to carry in a pocket.

How to choose your attar
Oud attars are deep, smoky and woody, the classic choice for weddings, evenings and winter. Musk attars are soft and clean, ideal for every day and for the office. Floral attars such as rose, jasmine (mogra) and kewda are fresh and traditional. Sandal (chandan) attars are warm, creamy and calm.
If you are new to attar, start with a 3 ml bottle of two or three scents you like the sound of, then move to 12 ml once you find your favourite. Each product page lists the top, heart and base notes so you know what to expect.
