Kannauj Shamama Attar | Authentic Indian Attar

Kannauj Shamama Attar – Description

Kannauj Shamama Attar is a traditional, highly prized Indian perfume oil crafted in the perfume capital of India—Kannauj. It is known for its deep, complex, and warm oriental aroma. Shamama is not a single-note attar; instead, it is a multi-ingredient blend distilled from dozens of natural botanicals, herbs, spices, woods, and floral materials using the classical deg-bhapka (hydro-distillation) technique.
