Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 namaste paul! i may be wrong, but are not both plant products (i.e., jasmin & sandlawood for motia) distille at the same time to create an attar? otherwise, i think (someone correct me) a co-distillation of sandalwood and another aromatic material (mud, jasmin, vetiver, etc) is considered an 'attar.' much light;einsof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I wrote an article on natural attars made in India for Perfume Smellin' Things, here's the link, it explains how the traditional ones are made: http://perfumesmellinthings.blogspot.com/2009/05/straight-from-deg.html They are truly amazing! I wear mine a lot. -Marla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! I didn't know that I was in this conversation!!! :-) My exposure to Attars is limited... You know probably as much as I do, and I think you defined as I would know as well. And even though I have house guests from India this weekend, I don't think they would know any better either... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Subject: Attars To: NaturalPerfumery Received: Thursday, May 12, 2011, 1:48 AM  I just saw that White Lotus is no longer selling attars. Could I ask for thoughts on where else you might buy them? I had some attar samples from Liberty Naturals once, and didn't like them so much as the samples I've had from White Lotus, which always were amazing. Best wishes Johanna Hi Johanna, Floracopeia has a wide range of beautiful, ethical attars. I'm particularly fond of their blue lotus attar. I highly recommend you give them a try. Good luck!

I noticed that one of the PA attars was from Australia, and thought that was interesting that the Australian sandalwood industry must be branching into attars? Does anyone know any more about it?
