From the attar’s ledger
Whole spices and resins hold their character longer. Grind small amounts just before use.
Before using any oil on skin, try a drop on the inner arm and wait a day.
Name and date on every jar. An attar’s cabinet is only as good as its labels.
Shelf 1
Powders, resins and traditional blends from the counter.
Shelf 2
Natural oils for hair, skin and the home.
Before you brew
If you remember a blend your family used, describe it to us. Chances are the ingredients are sitting in this drawer.
Tightly closed, in a cool place away from light. Dark glass bottles help oils keep longer.
