Attar refers to natural fragrances or essential oils that are derived from flowers, herbs, roots, and other plants. These fragrances are highly concentrated and are often used in traditional medicines and cosmetics. Attars are used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve well-being. They are also used in perfumes, incense, and candles for their pleasant aroma. Attars are traditionally made using the distillation method, where plant matter is soaked in water, and steam is passed through the mixture to extract the essential oils. The extracted oils are then collected and packaged for storage and use.
