INDIAN ATTARS KANNAUJ

 

 

The Timeless Elegance of Indian Attars : A Journey from Kannauj to the World

 

When it comes to fragrances, very few traditions in the world hold the same depth, heritage, and purity as Indian Attars. At Meena Perfumery, nestled in the historic town of Kannauj – the Perfume Capital of India, we proudly continue this centuries-old art of natural perfumery.

 

What are Attars?

 

Attars are 100% natural perfumes, crafted by distilling flowers, herbs, roots, spices, or woods into a natural base oil, traditionally sandalwood oil. Unlike alcohol-based perfumes, attars are free from synthetic chemicals and provide a long-lasting, skin-friendly fragrance.

 

Every drop of attar reflects patience, tradition, and the soul of nature.

 

The Heritage of Kannauj – India’s Grasse

 

Kannauj has been making attars for over 400 years, earning its title as the “Grasse of the East.” Our artisans still use the age-old deg-bhapka method (hydro-distillation) with copper vessels and earthenware, ensuring authenticity and purity.

 

This timeless technique allows us to capture the True essence of nature : whether it’s the earthy fragrance of Mitti Attar (first rain on soil) or the rich floral sweetness of Ruh Gulab (Rose Attar).

 

Why Attars Are Unique

 

1.Alcohol-Free & Natural : Gentle on the skin and suitable for spiritual use.

 

2.Long-Lasting : A few drops can last all day.

 

3.Therapeutic Benefits : Certain attars like Khus (Vetiver) and Sandalwood have cooling and calming effects.

 

4.Luxury & Spirituality Combined : Used in high-end perfumery, meditation, and traditional ceremonies.

 

Kannauj to the World

 

Today, attars from Kannauj are exported worldwide - from the Middle East to Europe and America – admired for their purity, sustainability, and heritage craftsmanship. At Meena Perfumery, we proudly share this cultural legacy with our global customers, ensuring that every bottle carries the story of India’s perfumery traditions.
