Attars - Indian Attars, Floral Attars, Herbal Attars - By: Ankur Tandon

Attar is basically an Arabic word which means Scent, Fragrance or Essence; basically derived from the Sanskrit word Sugandha meaning Aromatic. It is natural perfume extracted from flowers, herbs, spices, or barks and distilled with base oils such as sandalwood oil. �Sandalwood is relaxing oil with a soft and woody fragrance useful for tension, depression, and nervous exhaustion.



Pure Indian Attars are broadly classified as floral attars, Herbal attars or Mitti attar. Gulab, Kewra, Jasmine, Chameli, Raat Rani, Mogra, Khus etc. are floral attars manufactured from single species of the flower.� Heena, Amber, Musk, Kesar etc. are Herbal attars prepared from a combination of flowers, herbs and spices. Whereas, Mitti attar is produced by distillation of baked earth over a base material.




Rose symbolizes pure love and is known as the Queen of Flowers, for its romantic properties. The aroma of Rose Attar or Gulab Attar cures depression and evokes passion. Jasmine is called the King of Flowers and symbolizes purity and nobility.� Jasmine Attar or Mogra Attar has a sweet, cool, pleasant scent that has a soothing and calming effect.
