What are Attar oils?
Attar oil is a type of essential oil made by distilling flowers, herbs, spices, and other plant materials. Attar oils are traditionally used in perfumery and are known for their strong, long-lasting fragrances.
How are Attar oils made?
The process of making attar oil is known as hydro-distillation, which involves steaming the plant materials to release their essential oils. The steam is then cooled and condensed to create a highly concentrated, aromatic oil.
Attar oils are also used in traditional medicines, religious practices, and Ayurveda. The most popular attar oil is rose oil, which is made from the petals of the damask rose, but other popular attars include jasmine, sandalwood, and musk.
Attar oil is made using a traditional technique and natural ingredients, so it is considered a pure and organic product. They're also quite expensive compared to other perfumes because of the complex and time-consuming process of making an attar.
