Sandalwood

Sandalwood attar, also known as chandan attar, is a traditional, alcohol-free perfume oil treasured for its rich, warm, and creamy woody scent. It is highly valued in Indian culture for its use in personal fragrance, spiritual practices, and aromatherapy.

• Scent Profile: The fragrance is known for its classic, soothing, and grounding aroma. High-quality sandalwood attar should smell deeply woody, milky, and a little sweet, offering a long-lasting and calming fragrance.
• Origin: The most prized sandalwood attar comes from the Santalum album species found in the Mysore region of India. However, due to high demand and rarity, many sandalwood fragrances on the market use other varieties or synthetic substitutes.
• Production: Traditional sandalwood attar is created through a hydro-distillation process, where natural ingredients are distilled over a base of sandalwood oil. The resulting concentrated oil captures the essence of the materials.
• Alcohol-free: As a concentrated oil, attar does not contain alcohol, which makes it a preferred choice for individuals with sensitive skin or those who prefer natural, non-alcoholic fragrances.
• Long-lasting: Because it is a concentrated oil, sandalwood attar provides a long-lasting fragrance. A small amount applied to pulse points can last for many hours.
• Unisex Appeal: Its warm, woody, and earthy notes are widely appreciated by both men and women.
