The word 'attar', is basically an Arabic word which means 'scent'; this in turn is believed to have been derived from the Persian word Atr, meaning 'fragrance'.

Attar (Arabic: ) is a natural perfume oil derived from botanical sources.

The oils obtained from the herbs flowers and wood are generally distilled into a wood base such as sandalwood and then aged.

The aging period can last from one to ten years depending on the botanicals used and the results desired.

These all-natural perfumes are highly concentrated and therefore are usually offered for sale in small quantities and have traditionally been offered in decorated crystal cut type bottles or small jeweled decanters.

Attars are popular throughout the Middle East and the Far East .

Attars have been used in the entire Eastern world for thousands of years.

These 100% pure and natural perfumes are free of alcohol and chemicals and so the problems faced in the West by perfume lovers are irrelevant to most Eastern perfume lovers.

Natural perfumes are affordable because they are so concentrated that a small bottle will last the user several weeks, if not months.

Due to the purity and the nature of oils, there is very little chance of spoilage.

Some of the first lovers of Attars were the Mughal nobles of India.

Traditionally in the Eastern world it was a customary practice of nobility to offer attar to their guests at the time of their departure.

The attars are traditionally given in ornate tiny crystal cut bottles called as itardans.

This tradition of giving a scent to one's guests continues to this day in many parts of the Eastern world.
