12. What is attar?
The fine art of making attar (an aromatic oil extracted from various botanical
sources) is generally believed to have its origin in India.
A belief based on archaeological excavations in the Indus Valley that revealed 5000-
year-old copper stills used in the distillation process.
Further evidence of the use of attar in ancient times is provided by the ayurvedic text
Charaka Samhita, while the Gandhayukti—another text dating back to the Vedic
period—lists attar ingredients and also offers recipes for various perfumes, soaps,
mouth fresheners, talcum powders and incense.
13. How is attar made?
Layering them with clean and pure water and boiling the mixture to a point a vapor of
the entire mixture flows out and then condenses and the droplets pour down into a pot
that seizes the crucial oil required for making the attar.
Manufacturing an attar perfume requires accumulating loads of blossom petals into a large
still (deg).
The water in the deg is isolated from the oil in the morning and fresh
blossom petals are supplemented to the water. This routine may go on
for a few weeks.The left over water called hydrosol is often traded as
scented water
It has to be stored under refrigeration for prevention of it getting
spoilt. Hydrosols and other natural element are habitually used to
generate a inimitable attar fragrance.
