Traditional attars are a new concept due to the recent surge in demand, but they have a long ancient history. The usage of ittars became popular in the new decade, mainly around the 2020s, as people started to shift towards organic cosmetics and long-lasting smells, in the over-saturated modern perfume industry. 

Dressing well with fancy attire with top-notch shoes and accessories is not enough, if you have a foul body odor which is considered impolite. As spices cause the body to sweat out various odors, one should radiate a pleasant smell of soothing coolness or freshness. Attar and perfumes are used to fight unpleasant odors, however, many people do not understand the difference between the two. We are here to breakdown this debate.

Let’s Take A Look At Some Of The Major Differences.

Attars:

Attars are unique perfumes. They're made naturally by extracting the essence of flowers, plants, and spices. Unlike many perfumes, they don't contain alcohol or extra chemicals. They're pure and strong.

Attars are subtle and personal. They don't have a loud, overpowering smell. Instead, they blend gently with your own body's scent. Also, because they're made with oil, they last much longer than regular perfumes.

Perfumes : 

Most people use perfumes. They're made by combining fragrant oils with alcohol or water.

Eau de Parfum (EDP): These last longer and have a stronger smell.  

Eau de Cologne (EDC): These are light and fresh but don't last very long.

Eau de Toilette (EDT): These are lighter and good for everyday use.  

Alcohol in perfumes makes the scent spread out more. That's why you can easily smell someone wearing a strong perfume from far away. Perfumes are great for making a strong impression and getting noticed.

Perfumes vs. Attars: Which Lasts More : 

The wonderful scent and aroma of Attars never seems to leave the skin, thanks to the oil components embedded in it that ensure it lasts not only for hours but for days too. This could be why individuals at special events such as weddings maintain a Sweet Spicy Attar scent for a long duration.

While Attars aroma has a distinctly strong scent that may last for long, it does not project out as well as perfumes which instead do a much better job at filling a room in terms of a scent. On the other hand, perfumes and attars tend to create different atmospheres as an Attar stays close to the wearer whilst the perfume is rather intimidating.

Which Is Better ?

Why choose sides? Perfumes and attars aren't competing. They're like different drinks  both delicious in their own way.

Use perfume when you want to make a statement, like at a meeting. For something more personal, try an attar. Maybe wear perfume to work and a touch of Musk Al Mahal Black and Silver Oudh for a special occasion. Enjoy the best of both worlds
