Deg-bhapka distillation
From flower to attar
The same slow method Kannauj has used for centuries. No machines, no alcohol.
-
Picked at dawn
Flowers are hand-picked early, when their scent is strongest.
-
Copper deg
Petals and water are sealed in a copper deg with clay, over a wood fire.
-
Wood Fire
A gentle wood fire heats the deg for hours, and the vapour rises through a bamboo pipe.
-
Bhapka and ageing
In a water-cooled bhapka the vapour meets the base oil, then rests to mature.
HOW TO WEAR
One drop is enough
Attar is concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
01
Dab, don't rub
Touch one drop on your wrists. Rubbing breaks the scent.
02
Pulse points
Behind the ears and at the base of the neck, where skin is warm.
03
On fabric
A touch on a cotton dupatta lasts for days. Test silk first to avoid marks.
Kannauj, the perfume city
Made by hand, the old way
Our attars come from family distilleries in Kannauj, where deg-bhapka craft has passed down for generations. Each batch takes days, not minutes.
