The Source Of Our Fine Oils   The Legend of Attar     Attar translated means, “ The Most Exotic Fragrance for the Soul.” Attar is said to have been discovered by the, wife of Emperor Jehangir of the Mughal era in India. The story goes that she went for a morning bath in her garden and was delighted with the fragrance of an oily layer that had formed on the water. When distilled, this oil turned out to be her favourite rose perfume. Attar is much sought after, as this centuries-old Indian art of blending fragrances is evocative of a time of elegance and grandeur. Distilled from fresh flowers, the fragrances are bottled after a costly and lengthy process.
