The Global Journey of Fragrance: How Ingredients Are Sourced Across the World
At Attarly in Love, every drop of our attar tells a story—a journey that begins in the lush fields, dense forests, and sun-drenched gardens of the world’s most exotic locations. We prioritize authenticity when it comes to creating exquisite scents. Fundamentally, we make sure we source our ingredients from the best possible places, ensuring they are of the highest quality while being ethically and sustainably harvested.
From Indian sandalwood to the extracting scents of Bulgarian roses, our fragrances are infused with the natural scents of nature’s finest. Here’s how we bring the fragrances of the world to you, one fragrance oil at a time.
From East to West: A fragrant tapestry
The Middle East: The heart of oud and amber
No discussion of fine perfumery is complete without oud, which is often called "liquid gold." Sourced from the resin-rich heartwood of agarwood trees in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, oud is one of the most prized fragrance ingredients in the world. Its deep, woody richness forms the foundation of many of our luxurious attars and perfume oils.
Another iconic ingredient, amber, originates from fossilized tree resin and often exudes warm, sweet notes to add depth to fragrances. It has been cherished for centuries for its mystical and sensual aroma.
India: The land of sandalwood and jasmine
India has been at the heart of natural perfumery for thousands of years, home to some of the world’s most precious fragrance oils. Sandalwood, harvested from Mysore’s ancient forests, is revered for its smooth, creamy scent that adds depth and warmth to attars.
Jasmine, known as the “Queen of the Night,” is another favorite ingredient in perfumery. Grown in the fields of Tamil Nadu, its delicate white blossoms are hand-picked at dawn to preserve their intoxicating scent, which is then distilled into an ethereal and romantic perfume oil.
France and Bulgaria: The essence of rose
The fragrance oil industry owes much to the sprawling rose fields of France and Bulgaria. These regions are renowned for their high-quality rose absolute, an ingredient that exudes timeless elegance. Roses are carefully harvested in the early morning, ensuring their petals remain at peak fragrance before steam distillation.
Madagascar and Indonesia: The spice infusion
Exotic spices and resins lend an irresistible complexity to many of our perfumes. Madagascar’s vanilla is among the finest in the world, with its creamy, sweet, and slightly smoky aroma. Indonesian patchouli, known for its earthy depth, enriches our blends with signature richness, adding warmth and longevity to every drop of perfume oil.
Ethical sourcing: A commitment to quality and responsibility
At Attarly in Love, we believe that luxury should never come at the cost of the environment or the communities that cultivate these extraordinary ingredients. We are committed to ethical sourcing practices that support sustainability, fair pay, and traditional harvesting techniques.
Our suppliers are carefully selected to ensure that the natural habitats of these ingredients remain protected and that the people who cultivate them are treated fairly. Many of our perfume oils come from family-run farms that have perfected their craft for generations, preserving their traditions while embracing sustainable practices.
