The story behind
The legendary perfumers of ancient Kannauj created a unique scent that would capture the fragrance of earth when first touched by the monsoon rains. Extracted from parched clay and distilled with ancient techniques, it is today known as mitti attar – Earth’s perfume. Being one of India’s oldest attar perfumeries, we inherit the art of capturing this beautiful scent.
The Making of Mitti Attar
Sourcing Earthen Pots for Distillation
Clay is extracted from the topsoil of earth and baked in a kiln,
then these earthen pots are immersed in water within copper cauldrons known as degs,
Traditional Distillation
Dsitillation of Mitti Attar takes place in ancient manner known as Deg & Bhapka technique. A cow-dung fire is then lit underneath the cauldron containing clay pots and the vapour travels through bamboo pipes to condense in receivers (bhapka), over a base of oil, to form the attar. The process is called hydro-distillation.

Since it is sandalwood based attar, will the fragrance be pure mitti or mitti + sandalwood?

Question
Jeena (verified owner) –
Since your attars are sandalwood oil based, will the smell have a hint of sandalwood fragrance also,? Eg, will the smell of mitti attar be pure mitti or mitti+ sandalwood?

Sandalwood is only proven natural base for perfumes. This is sandali mitti prepared on the base of sandalwood so with Mitti (petrichor) smell, you’ll experiences traces of sandalwood. But overall, the fragrance is just excellent!

Fragrance will be of Mitti, but after top notes settle down you are likely to experience traces of pure sandalwood. Mitti with sandalwood make the smell for beautiful and long lasting.
