The journey of rose attar begins with fresh, fragrant rose petals. In the traditional perfume houses of Kannauj, carefully selected roses are processed using the traditional Deg & Bhapka distillation method to capture their delicate floral aroma.
Making natural rose attar requires more than simply extracting fragrance from flowers. The quality of the flowers, the distillation process, heat, water and the experience of the attar maker all play an important role in developing the final fragrance.
As the process progresses, the floral aroma is gradually transferred into the attar base, creating a rich and distinctive natural perfume. Explore the traditional journey from fresh roses to Kannauj rose attar, and learn how generations of Indian perfumers have preserved this unique method of natural fragrance making.
