Luxury Attar

Attar, also known as ittar, is an essential oil derived from botanical or other natural sources. Most commonly, these oils are extracted via hydrodistillation or steam distillation. The Persian physician Ibn Sina was the first to derive the attar of flowers through distillation. In English, attar is simply referred to as “perfume” or “fragrance”. Muslims commonly use attar. It has cultural and religious significance, especially during prayers and festivals. Attar differs from regular alcohol-based perfumes in that it is made directly from natural sources without alcohol. Attar is strong because it is highly concentrated and made directly from natural materials. Its potency allows for a little to go a long way.
