Description
Sweet Tunisian Myrrh-Sandalwood Attar
5ml with dipstick application top
Made in India
Bottled in Israel
Dark Deep Amber Oil that is a woody, resiny, warm, sweet, smooth, and very rare and very special!
The aroma is strongly sweet, spicy, buttery caramel, sugary toffee, myrrh notes, with a hint of date-like notes. Amazing, literally the smallest dab will stay for hours on your skin. I find I like to add a tiny dab of some jojoba oil to thin it out more, and it softens the aroma to kiss my skin so throughout the day I will catch a whiff of the beautiful aroma which tickles my nose with delight every time.
The aroma evokes memories of golden sunshine shimmering on sacred waters, while perfumed incense fills the air. Days are spent drifting through brightly-colored bazaars of spices in Tunisia while selecting exotic, rare trinkets, as balmy air presses densely on dewy skin. The warm, sweet taste of dates and pomegranates lingers, with sweet fruits dusted with spices from the lands of the Middle Eastern and African deserts.
This attar comes to us from Moshe Amir in Israel. He travels often to India to make several attars and brings back so many amazing mixtures of dense perfumes. Moshe’s father is from India, and his mother is from Israel. Can you imagine eating in his home growing up?
Wow! Moshe likes being a part of the action to see the process from beginning to end. India has a deep, intimate relationship with botanical aromas and natural perfumes as well as spices, incense, aromatic oils, and flowers. Often used in all life events and cycles as well as in cooking. So Moshe enjoys traveling to India to experience the process very much.
The Tunisian Jewish community loves the mixture of these ingredients together as a sweet perfume when blended together with sandalwood and Amber notes into an oil form. Just another aroma that represents the diversity of the Holy Land of Israel.
Attar is luxurious, rich, and an alcohol-free perfume made from dense essential oils and fresh botanical materials. Attar oils are not easy to make, and while using a wide range of fresh flowers, the more fragrant the flower, the heavier the resulting attar scent. Using fresh roses to make attar serves as a way to incorporate the roses with sandalwood, Myrrh Resins, and other beautiful florals and resins.
The process can take up to 3 weeks of distillation and then mixing with more distillation with amazing organic extractions, which takes tremendous skill and a highly trained, keen nose.
Made with rich ingredients of Sandalwood Mysore heartwood, Rose, Benzoin Onyca Resin, Opoponax Resin, Myrrh Resin, Oud, Pomegranate Flowers, mixed gently with Vanilla Beans and Flowers. Excellent for healing the heart on a spiritual level.
