Attars are like flowers - as old as the ages but as fresh as tomorrow’s dew drops. The subtle blending of the various aromas is very likely the creation of melody. This is called an accord and constitutes of the base note, middle note and top note (top note being the most volatile one and the base note being the most long lasting one). And like Indian music’s various ragas, the use of attars matches the seasons of the year. Indian perfumes have never been classified separately for men and women. They have an inherent oriental charm. That is why they stand out in the world of perfumes. As Praful Gundhi, the perfumer puts it: “Perfume making is art, science, creativity, hard work and research all rolled into one.”
