6 in 1 Miniature Attar Set

An attar is the oil itself, with no alcohol and no water in it, so 2.5ml goes a great deal further than the same volume of a spray — one dab on a warm wrist is a full application. Six of them is the least expensive way to learn which kind of oil suits you, a clean musk or a white flower or a deep oudh, without buying six bottles to find out.

The vials photographed are Oudh Al Safura, Savage, Laban Al Layl, Ylang Ylang, Escape, Imperial Gissah and Oudh Mubakkar; six of them go in a box, and which six is up to you — say so when you order. Each carries a wand in the cap, which is how an oil is meant to go on: touched to warm skin and left to settle, never rubbed in.

It makes an easy gift for someone who has only ever worn sprays, and a practical one for anybody who already wears attar and would rather travel with six vials than six flacons. Every attar in the collection is also sold on its own, in 3ml, 6ml, 8ml and 12ml.
