Before applying attar on your pulse point as described below, make sure that you are not allergic to it. If you are allergic to essential oils or perfumes, apply attar on to your clothes instead instead.
Attar perfumes are typically applied to the pulse points, such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears. This is because these areas produce body heat, which helps to release the fragrance of the attar.
To apply attar, you can either dab a small amount onto your pulse points using your fingertips or you can use a dropper or spray bottle to apply the attar directly to your skin. It is important to use a small amount of attar at a time, as attars are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way.
It is also important to allow the attar to dry completely before dressing, as the oils in the attar can stain certain fabrics. It is also a good idea to avoid applying attar to areas of your skin that will be exposed to the sun, as some essential oils can be photosensitive and may cause skin irritation or discoloration when exposed to UV rays.
You can also apply attar on your clothes. Gently rub 2-3 drops of attar between your palm and sparringly apply on your clothes. Dark coloured attar may stain your clothes.
Attar perfumes are known for their long-lasting scents, which can last for several hours or even days, depending on the specific attar and how it is applied. Attars are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way, so you don’t need to use a lot to get a strong, long-lasting fragrance.
That being said, the shelf life of attar can vary depending on the specific essential oils used and how the attar is stored. Some attars may have a shorter shelf life than others, especially if they are made from essential oils that are prone to oxidization or are stored in conditions that are not optimal.
To extend the shelf life of your attar, it is important to store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. It is also a good idea to keep the attar in a sealed container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent evaporation and contamination. If stored properly, most attars should last for several years.
