Gulab / Rose Attar

Gulab / Rose Attar

Rosa damascena

About This Material

Gulab Attar is a traditional Indian rose attar made by hydro-distilling the petals of Rosa damascena over a base of sandalwood oil. It is one of the most celebrated materials in Indian perfumery, capturing the full, living character of the rose flower in a way that modern rose absolutes rarely achieve. Kannauj has been the centre of Gulab Attar production in India for centuries.

Olfactive Profile

Rich, warm, and deeply floral with a honeyed sweetness and a soft woody base from the sandalwood carrier. The rose character is full-bodied and natural, with subtle spicy and green facets. The dry-down is smooth, intimate, and long-lasting.
