Eau de parfum. Aged agarwood opens over saffron and settles into warm amber. It wears dark and close for the first hour, then widens. Kimiya is the old word for alchemy.

Shop all eight scentsHow an attar is made
Four stages, in order1 Distil
Flowers, herbs or baked clay are heated in a copper deg. The vapour is carried through a bamboo pipe into a bhapka, a receiver holding sandalwood oil.
2 Rest
The oil sits in sealed leather and glass vessels for weeks, sometimes months, until the water settles out and the scent rounds.
3 Blend
Single attars are combined to a fixed recipe. A mukhallat can carry a dozen of them. Each blend gets a batch number.
4 Bottle
Filled by hand into 12 ml glass roll-ons, or diluted for the eau de parfum range and rested again before spraying.

A guide to the notes
Six families cover everything we make. Pick a note to see the scents that carry it.
Dar-e-Itr means house of attar.
The name is two words. Dar is the house. Itr is the essence, the distilled oil that the word perfume comes from in Persian and Urdu. The mark above the name shows both: a flask drawn in calligraphy, with a rose and a drop of oil inside.
We keep the range small. Each scent has a fixed recipe, a note list printed on the box, and a batch number so a reorder smells like the first bottle.

How long does delivery take?
Orders leave Bangalore in 2 to 3 working days after we confirm. Delivery then takes 2 to 6 days across India, depending on the pincode.

Cancellations
You can cancel on WhatsApp until the parcel is handed to the courier. After dispatch we treat it as a return if the bottle is unopened.
Is attar alcohol-free?
Yes. Attar is aroma oil on a sandalwood or paraffin base. The eau de parfum range uses perfumer's alcohol.
Will attar stain my clothes?
Attar is oil. Roll it on skin and let it dry before you dress. On light silk or white cotton, test a hidden corner first.
How should I store a bottle?
Keep it capped, upright, away from sunlight and heat. A drawer is better than a bathroom shelf. Stored well, attar keeps for years.
Where is it made?
Oils are sourced from Kannauj and Mysore, with rose from Taif. Blending and bottling happen in Bangalore. Each bottle carries a batch number.
