Khus Attar

Vetiver root, the cool of summer

Khus roots from Bharatpur are dug, washed and distilled for days into a dark, green-smoky oil - the same root woven into the screens of old summer houses and sprinkled with water to cool the air.

We distil khus for the hot months only. This season’s batch has sold through; the next is resting in leather and returns in March.

    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.
