Rose Sandal
This is a beautiful rose attar made by the distillation of India’s famed roses in Indian sandalwood oil, using ancient methods largely unchanged for hundreds of years.
A simple soliflore that’s wonderfully spicy-rosy in all its glory, this attar displays similar yet lighter notes to Ruh Gulab, its rose otto compatriot: Sweet juicy lychee, rosy pink petals, a leafy greenness, and a strong spicy undercurrent all carried along by the sandalwood’s creamy woodiness, which comes to the fore as the scent wears on.
This is another beautiful natural attar from Kannauj: the East’s ancient capital of perfumery, and one that is a testament to the craft and skill of its traditional artisanal perfumers.

Shamamah Amber
A special traditional distillation that has been quietly macerating since 2021, I'm excited to finally release this gorgeous, all-natural Shamamah Amber attar in sandalwood oil, one of ancient India's finest aromatic achievements in my humble opinion.
Shamama / Shamamatul Amber attars are complex, labour-intensive affairs that can take up to a month to distill in ancient copper ‘deg and bhapka’ pots, but the results are nothing short of a masterpiece of olfactory art by India's ancient perfume artisans.
Each distilling family have their own secret recipe, but Shamamah's ingredients typically include exotic florals, woods, and spices such as oud, rose, jasmine, saffron, spikenard, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, pandanus, and sandalwood among a whole host of other natural ingredients.
Scent-wise, I really enjoy this Shamamah as its notes are so finely balanced, opening up with a gorgeously diffusive bouquet of airy and musky amberiness before slowly settling down to a bed of contrasting resins, florals and spices.
Overall, the scent isn't as heavy with dark base notes as some others are (which I also enjoy), but instead this takes you on a beautiful journey laden with ambers, musks, spices, florals and earthy notes that are diffusive and warm without being cloyingly heavy or sweet in any way.
One of my all-time favourite attars from Kannauj’s ancient distilleries, Shamamah Amber is gorgeous worn neat as an attar or as a mid/base note ingredient in natural perfume blends.

Pink Lotus Sandal
Distilled from one of the most prized florals in natural perfumery, this traditional Pink Lotus attar distilled in sandalwood oil is a juxtaposition of contrasting notes in beautiful harmony.
Hailing from the artisans of Kannauj, its scent is deeply floral, gently waxy, and with raisin-and-tea-like, honeyed, spicy, earthy, and green qualities, all riding upon a bed of deliciously creamy Indian sandalwood oil. It's a gorgeous attar that I find so soft and delicate, and yet amazingly complex and rich at the same time.
If you've never tried Pink Lotus as an attar before, or are looking for a personal scent with excellent depth and richness that is a joy to wear and study, then I'd highly recommend you try this.

Jasmine Sandal
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.

Recently purchased this Attar and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and beautiful smell. You can tell it’s a good quality oil as it lasts on the skin for the day even after washing. A quick sniff now then just to lift the spirits!!
