Attar
Attar refers to a concentrated natural perfume or fragrance derived from botanical sources such as flowers, herbs, and spices. Traditionally used in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures, attar is made through the process of distillation or solvent extraction. Unlike synthetic perfumes, attars are alcohol-free and often have a rich, complex scent profile. They are usually oil-based and come in small bottles. Attar is appreciated for its long-lasting properties and is often used in religious, cultural, or personal settings, valued for both its pleasant fragrance and its connection to centuries of perfumery artistry.
