What is Attar Perfume, How to Use it, Types & Benefits

Attar: Uses, Types and Benefits

The word 'attar' or ittar originates from an Arabic term which means 'scent' or something which gives good smell and aroma. Attar is natural perfume oil and is a derivative of different flora and fauna. Attar are distilled naturally and most often they are taken from the botanical material through hydro or steam distillation. Attars are usually offered for sale in small quantities because they are highly concentrated. Attar perfumes have conventionally been showcased in decorated crystal cut type bottles or small jeweled decanters.

Since thousand years, ittars were used for attracting angels and warded off darkness or evil spirits. Saints and spiritual aspirants embellished themselves with the finest scents to assist them in their meditative state to attain enlightenment. Although attars have been used in the entire Eastern world, they are more prevalent throughout the Middle East and the Far East of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. They are completely devoid of alcohol and detrimental chemicals. In ancient India, ittar was prepared by placing precious flowers and sacred plants into a water or vegetable oil. Slowly the plants and flowers would infuse the water/oil with their delicate fragrance. The plant and flower material would then be removed and a symphony of their aromatic beauty would be held in the ittar. These ittars were then worn as a sacred perfume or to anoint.

QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY AND MORE QUALITY

Dear Neetaji, Thank you very much for the Ganga Jal, Salagram, yantras & Rudraksha. All I can say is QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY & MORE QUALITY!!!!!!! That is why I will always continue to do business with, and send word of mouth traffic to the Rudra centre. Although there are many Rudraksha dealers on the net, i think by far you have them beat in regards to quality, integrity & customer satisfaction. PS-salagram is a KURMA AVATAR salagram, as the shell and carapace found underneath a turtle's shell can clearly be seen. This is exactly as I had envisioned. Thank you, Janardana
