Petrichor Sandal

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 4 customer ratings
(4 customer reviews)

Petrichor: “A pleasant, distinctive smell frequently accompanying the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather in certain regions.” – Oxford English Dictionary.

Amazingly, the natural-perfume artisans of India managed to capture this very scent by distilling clay in Indian sandalwood oil, creating this ‘Petrichor sandal’, or Mitti Attar as it’s known in India (unfortunately, many don’t distill this in sandalwood nowadays).

When I first smelled this scent, it instantly took me back many thousands of miles: not to India, but to the scorching deserts of the Arabian peninsula, where I spent my childhood years.

In Arabia, it rains very little. The summers are scorching and harsh, and dust and sand choke the air. As children, we would wait with bated breaths for the first rain of the season, and after many months of waiting; joy oh joy!

The warm drops of rain would come pouring down, picking up the dust in the air, kicking up the dust on the ground and, if you looked closely enough you would see it rising, almost as steam, from the hot, parched earth. That as a child was the scent of unbridled joy; I didn’t know it at the time, but that scent has a name: Petrichor.

Tuberose Sandal

Attars
Rated 5.00 out of 5
From £21.00
First domesticated in modern-day Mexico, the fragrant tuberose flower adorned the gardens of the Maya and Aztecs before finding its way across the old world. Cultivated now in India amongst other countries, this is a traditional Indian distillation of the sweet, fragrant, and waxy-white tuberose flowers in Indian sandalwood oil. The result is this unique and beautiful attar, which displays tuberose's intensely sweet, floral, waxy, and bitter-green scent that some may find unusual, especially if experiencing tuberose for the first time. It's a complex scent, however, and one that I find takes time and patience to understand and appreciate just how beautiful it really is. • Please note that this attar may contain some sediment at the bottom of the vial, likely left over from the distillation process. Refund Policy: Please note that we offer refunds on all items excluding sample sizes (0.3g), subject to our refund policy as stated.

Jasmine Sandal

Attars
Rated 5.00 out of 5
From £19.00
This sensual traditional attar is made by distilling Jasmine Sambac flowers into Indian sandalwood oil using the ancient methods of Kannauj's artisans, which have remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years. A simple yet outstanding soliflore which I find beautifully reminiscent of jasmine green tea: the scent is a heady mix of Jasmine's floral, sweet, green and indolic elements, all riding a wave of sandalwoody creaminess which slowly comes to the fore as the scent progresses. If you're a fan of all things jasmine, this is a wonderful attar that's not to be missed. Refund Policy: Please note that we offer refunds on all items excluding sample sizes (0.3g), subject to our refund policy as stated.
