Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Henna attar is hydro-distilled by the traditional deg-bhapka method. The material is suspended over water in a large copper vat called a deg, which is placed on a wood or charcoal fire. The steam is carried through bamboo pipes to a round copper vessel with a long neck, called a bhapka. The bhapka holds sandalwood oil and sits in a water tank that cools it, so no separate condenser is used. The distillation can continue for 10 to 15 days, depending on the concentration of attar desired. When the oil and water have separated into two layers, the water is removed from an opening in the bottom. The attar is then poured into leather bottles for sedimentation and removal of moisture. The oils are generally aged afterwards, for a period of one to ten years depending on the botanicals used and the results desired.

У парфумерії
Henna attar is an alcohol-free fragrance oil that is worn on the skin. A small amount is applied to pulse points such as the wrists, behind the ears and the neck. Attars in general are mostly used as perfume, and also for medicinal and aphrodisiacal purposes. Attars also go into the making of scented tobaccos and mouth fresheners in India.
