What Is Attar Perfume?

Attar is a traditional perfume format commonly associated with concentrated fragrance oils and Middle Eastern and South Asian perfumery.

Unlike an Eau de Parfum, an attar is typically applied as a perfume oil rather than a spray fragrance. Nishaat offers alcohol-free attar perfume oils in compact formats.

Attars can be applied to pulse points such as the wrists, neck and behind the ears. Start with a small amount and add more if desired.

There is no single attar smell. Attars can feature musk, oud, amber, rose, floral, woody, sweet and oriental profiles.

If you prefer a spray fragrance, explore Nishaat's EDP collection. If you prefer a compact alcohol-free perfume oil, explore our Arabian attars.
