Application
Applying attars is an art that requires a delicate touch to fully experience their rich and long-lasting scents. To begin, ensure your hands are clean. Apply a small amount to your pulse points where veins are closest to the skin: the inner part of your wrists and behind your ears. Gently dab the attar without excessive rubbing to preserve the head notes.
For a more immersive experience, consider applying attars to your neck, beard, and hair. Be careful when applying to clothing, as it is oil and can stain. If you choose to apply it to your garments, use a small amount. Remember, the more you apply, the higher the projection and sillage. The key is moderation; a little attar goes a long way, and you can reapply to intensify the scent.
