Gulab Attar

Kannauj rose, fifteen passes into sandalwood

Damask roses from growers along the Kali river are picked before sunrise in March and April and are in the deg within the hour. Each batch is distilled into the same bhapka of Mysore sandalwood oil fifteen times over, until the oil is so full of rose that it turns a pale gold.

It opens green and almost lemony, like a petal bruised between fingers, then deepens into honeyed rose and finally into creamy sandalwood that lasts the day. The attar most often given at weddings in Awadh, and the one to start with.

    Shamama like my grandfather wore

    Deep, spiced, a little smoky. Still on my wrist the next morning after a single touch. Arrived in two days, wax seal intact, batch number on the label.

    Eid chests for the whole family

    Ordered five three-attar chests with Urdu cards. The carving is lovely and the velvet holds the bottles snugly. Every aunt has asked where they came from.

    Mitti is unreal, start with the 3 ml

    It really does smell like rain on a hot terrace. It fades faster than the gulab, so I reapply after lunch - the 3 ml was perfect for deciding, now ordering 12.

    Four hundred wedding favours, perfectly done

    They called to confirm our ribbon colour and the date, then shipped a week early. Every 1 ml vial was sealed and labelled. Paid the balance on delivery with a GST invoice.
