The Art of Attar Making: Traditional Deg and Bhapka Distillation at Meena Perfumery

Welcome to the timeless world of Meena Perfumery, Kannauj — the heart of India’s ancient fragrance heritage. In an age of machines and mass production, we stay rooted in tradition, embracing an age-old art that has traveled across centuries: the Deg and Bhapka distillation method, used in crafting pure, natural Indian attars. At Meena Perfumery, this isn’t just a process. It’s a legacy.

What is the Deg and Bhapka Method

This traditional hydro-distillation technique dates back over a thousand years and is still used in the perfume capital of India — Kannauj. It involves:

• Deg: A large copper cauldron where raw botanical ingredients like rose, vetiver, jasmine, or sandalwood are placed.
• Bhapka: A receiver flask where the aromatic vapors condense and collect.
• A chiller coil and clay sealant to regulate temperature and ensure purity.

The deg is carefully sealed with a mixture of cotton and clay, then gently heated using cow dung or wood fire. The vapors travel through a bamboo pipe and condense in the bhapka, where the aromatic oils are infused into a natural base like sandalwood oil. Each batch takes several hours to days, reflecting patience, skill, and deep reverence for nature.
