Since 1948

Four generations of noses in the same narrow shop.

Hafiz Mehtab Ali opened a counter in Chowk in 1948 with attars from his cousins’ degs in Kannauj. His great-grandson Faiz still buys from the same distilling families, and still tests every batch on a cotton swab before it goes on the shelf.

The mitti attar smells exactly like the first rain in our village. I have bought it every summer for six years.

I tried three on the sample card and ordered the ruh gulab. One drop lasts the whole day at work.

The discovery box was the best wedding gift we gave this year. Everyone asked where it was from.

Questions

Before you order

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

What is the difference between attar and perfume?

Attar is a natural oil distilled into a sandalwood base, with no alcohol. Perfume sprays are usually synthetic oils in alcohol. Attar sits closer to the skin and lasts longer.

How do I wear attar?

Dab one drop on the wrists, behind the ears and at the base of the throat. Do not rub; let it warm on the skin. On clothes, test a hidden spot first, as some attars stain silk.

Do attars expire?

No. Most improve with age. Store them in a cool, dark place, with the cap closed.

Can I return an attar?

Unopened attars can be returned within 7 days. Try the free sample card first if you are unsure.
