An attar is a very viscous perfumed oil, which is sold in tiny bottles, of which one generally puts a drop behind the ear.
In India, since they are non-alcoholic extracts, attars are mainly used by Muslims. Originally, an attar was an extraction of rose or jasmine on sandalwood oil. But given the cost of sandalwood and the supplial difficulties, this time is over. Nowadays the extraction on sandalwood oil represents less than 1% of the market.

Bottles of attars are now sold around 1-2 dollars. Therefore, their composition is mainly synthetic, even if they still contain some natural raw materials extracted on woody sandalwood raw materials such as Sandella.
Attars are usually made by family companies, mainly in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, close to Agra.
