Natural ingredients can be potent and active (which is why natural medicine is so effective) so just like some people react to certain plants, some people may also react to natural Attars. It’s not very common with our fragrances but it can happen. If you experience any itching or rash after application please stop using the product immediately. We always suggest a patch test before using any new product, whether it is natural or not, especially if you are more sensitive than average.

That varies from person to person, and also depends on the scent. Generally, your Attar scent will noticeable for approximately 4-5 hours, but could be up to 7 hours. Keep in mind that the scent throw (sillage) and longevity of natural perfumes is not as great as synthetic fragrance because natural ingredients biodegrade (as they should) whereas synthetic ingredients don't readily break down, and may even persist in the environment for a very long time.

Some scents will disintegrate more quickly than others (especially those that re lighter and fresher), so we suggest a shelf life of 2 years. To keep your Attar at its best, please store it away from sunlight and heat.

Let's clear the air on this one - all perfumes are unisex. Scent is just a matter of preference, not gender. However, marketing of Attar over the years has meant that most of us think of perfumes for women being more floral and sweet, and fragrance for men being more woody, smoky or spicy. But that it simply marketing and perception. You should wear whatever fragrance makes you feel good.
