How to Apply Attar the Right Way
Attar is highly concentrated, which means a little goes a long way. The way you apply, wear and store it can make all the difference in how beautifully the fragrance develops.

With Attar, Less Is More
Unlike conventional perfumes, attar is highly concentrated. You don't need to cover yourself in fragrance. Start with just a small amount and allow the scent to unfold naturally on your skin.
A few drops are often all you need.
Application
Apply on Pulse Points
Apply attar to warm areas of your body such as your wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbows.
These naturally warm areas help the fragrance release gradually throughout the day.
Dar Al Khushboo Tip
Avoid applying attar to your palms, where frequent washing and contact can make the fragrance disappear much faster.
Prepare Your Skin
Moisturize First
Apply a small amount of unscented moisturizer before wearing your attar. Moisturized skin can hold fragrance better than very dry skin.
Apply After a Shower
Applying attar to clean skin after a shower gives the fragrance a fresh base on which to develop.
Dab Gently. Don't Rub.
Apply a small amount and allow the fragrance to settle naturally. There's no need to aggressively rub the attar into your skin.
Layer Your Fragrance
A small amount of attar can also be applied to suitable fabrics to create another layer of fragrance that releases gently as you move.
Take care with fabrics
Attars are oil-based and may mark certain fabrics. Always test a tiny amount on an inconspicuous area first and avoid delicate materials.
Preserve the Fragrance
Store It Right
Protect your attar from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark and dry place whenever possible.
Proper storage helps preserve the character and quality of your fragrance for longer.
