Authentic Attars & Oud Oils Crafted Since 1937
An 80+ year legacy of alcohol-free attars, pure oud oils, and traditional perfume blends. Hand-crafted in the classic Indian-Arabian perfumery tradition.
Three Generations of Perfumery Craftsmanship
Shah Perfumes & Gems was founded in the historic perfume bazaars of India, where our family learned the ancient art of attar distillation from master perfumers.
Today, we continue these time-honored traditions, sourcing the finest oud, sandalwood, and rare botanicals to create fragrances that connect you to centuries of heritage.
Difference Between Attar and Perfume
What is Attar?
Attar is a natural, oil-based fragrance extracted through traditional steam distillation. Completely alcohol-free, attars are crafted from pure botanical sources like flowers, herbs, and woods, aged in sandalwood oil to develop deep, lasting scents.
What is Perfume?
Modern perfumes are typically alcohol-based formulations that blend natural and synthetic fragrance compounds. They're lighter, more volatile, and designed to evaporate gradually, creating layers of scent over time.
Key Differences
Attar: Natural • Oil-based • Alcohol-free • Long-lasting (8-12 hours) • Traditionally distilled
Perfume: Synthetic blends • Alcohol-based • Lighter • Shorter wear • Modern formulation
