Attars: The Ancient, Luxurious Long-Lasting Perfume

Welcome to a world where nature meets tradition. At House of Evorah, we celebrate the heritage of attars, pure perfume oils whose artisanal legacy and enduring charm make them the best long lasting perfume for women and men alike. Let’s unravel their magic.

What Is an Attar?

Attar (or ittar) is the purest form of perfume oil-based, alcohol-free, and crafted via hydro distillation or steam distillation of botanicals into a base such as sandalwood. This preserves authenticity, depth, and longevity in each drop. Some attars are even aged for years to refine their complexity.

Especially in Kannauj, India the “Grasse of the East” attars have been crafted for centuries using traditional copper stills, remaining a timeless art form.

Why Attars Win for Longevity

Unlike alcohol-based sprays that evaporate quickly, attars cling to the skin, releasing fragrance slowly and steadily. This makes them the ideal long lasting perfumes - the essence lingers, evolves, and endures.
