I got some unexpected news today and people that know me, know that I like to withdraw, think, regroup, and then come back. It’s fine.
The Mogra attar from Attar Affair is distracting me, in a good way, because I smell like damp jasmine flowers and I layered it with Diptyque Do Son, so I’m just surrounded by white florals today.
The rose attar is a sweet jammy rose, very similar to the rose you’d get when you drink Rooh Afza, so I really enjoyed wearing it and getting whiffs of its sweetness throughout the day. I’m probably going to reapply this one later in the day.
Attars are essentially perfume oils and are traditionally found in India and some Middle Eastern countries. They’re very concentrated and often solinotes. Growing up, my mom and grandmother (who both loved perfume) always had attars around the house – sometimes mint for their headaches, or floral ones as perfumes to wear for nights out.
Have you tried any attars and do you have a favourite?
