Attar & Perfume Oil

Alcohol-free perfume oils that sit close to the skin and hold through the day. Roll-on musk and attar from El Nabil, ADN Paris, Lattafa and Rehab: pocket-sized, easy to reapply, delivered across the UAE.

What makes an attar different

An attar is perfume without the alcohol. Instead of a spray that opens loudly and then settles, you get a concentrate applied straight to the skin that stays close and steady for most of the day.

Why oils suit the climate

Alcohol evaporates quickly in heat, which shortens the life of a spray. An oil has nothing to burn off, so what you apply in the morning is still recognisable in the afternoon. The small format also travels well and fits a pocket or a bag.

How to wear it

  • Use small amounts. One or two dabs on the wrists and neck is enough
  • Do not rub your wrists together, as it flattens the opening notes
  • Layer with a matching body mist or textile spray if you want more presence

The collection covers the roll-on and dab-bottle ranges from El Nabil, ADN Paris, Lattafa and Rehab, across musk, oud, floral and amber profiles.

Frequently asked questions

What is an attar?

Liquid error (sections/collection-faq line 33): Could not find asset snippets/icon-caret.liquid
An attar is a concentrated perfume oil applied directly to the skin, traditionally without alcohol. It is usually sold in small roll-on or dab bottles.

Are attars alcohol-free?

Liquid error (sections/collection-faq line 33): Could not find asset snippets/icon-caret.liquid
The oils in this collection are alcohol-free concentrates. Check the individual product page as well, since some houses also sell alcohol-based sprays under similar names.

How do I apply perfume oil?

Liquid error (sections/collection-faq line 33): Could not find asset snippets/icon-caret.liquid
Apply a small amount to pulse points: wrists, behind the ears, base of the neck. Do not rub your wrists together, as this breaks down the top notes. Reapply during the day if needed.
