Attar is a traditional, oil-based fragrance made from natural ingredients such as flowers, woods, herbs, and resins. Unlike alcohol-based perfumes, attars are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin in very small amounts. Because they do not contain alcohol, attars evaporate slowly and develop gradually, creating a deeper and longer-lasting scent. This makes them especially suitable for warm climates and daily wear. Attars are valued not only for their longevity but also for their smooth, skin-friendly nature and rich fragrance character.
