What Does Attar Smell Like?

How to know which attar is for you ...

perfume attar london

Everyone has a different taste in perfumes and aromas. Finding the right one can be difficult especially when online shopping. Over the years many have tried to simplify the process by describing each scent in extreme detail to help the customer. However, if you are new to the world of attar this can be rather frustrating. Our method is a lot simpler…

The Pyramid Method

Imagine each attar as a pryramid. Each pyramid has 3 layers; the highs, the mids and the base. Each of these together create the specific aroma however each of these play a seperate role in your experience.

The High Notes

The top of the pyramid holds the most volatile and defining scents. These are the ‘first impressions’ of each attar and usually define oil based perfume as a whole. However they have a shorter lifetime than the middle notes and will eventually fade away.

The Middle Notes

These notes take control once the high notes begin to wear off.They usually have a deeper aroma making them less harsh and more comforting as the day goes on.

The Base Notes

These are the heart of each attar with the richest and strongest scent. The balance of strength and subtleness will ensure the perfume is not overpowering but still strong enough to recieve compliments.

If you are still unsure you can try out our sample pack. Containing 1ml of each of our attars, our new sample pack will remove any confusion or doubt before investing in your chosen attar.
