Kewra Attar

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium Kewra Attar, an exquisite, highly prized botanical treasure hydro-distilled from the wild, honey-scented blossoms of the fragrant screwpine (Pandanus odoratissimus) directly into a pure, sustainably sourced Indian Sandalwood oil base. Utilizing the centuries-old deg-bhapka distillation process, our master distillers capture the true, ethereal essence of these coastal-blooming male flowers at dawn when their volatile aromatic compounds are at their peak. This meticulous, artisanal method ensures a therapeutic- and perfumery-grade traditional perfume of unmatched complexity, depth, and absolute purity, offering discerning B2B buyers a reliable, authentic ingredient for high-end formulations.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Kewra Attar (also known as kewda attar or screw pine attar) exhibits a deeply complex, sweet, and honey-like bouquet with rich floral-green undertones, a soft fruity-musky nuance, and a warm, velvety, precious-wood dry down courtesy of the aged Sandalwood base.

• Top Notes: Vibrant, honeyed floral, green-herbaceous freshness, and light aquatic hints.
• Middle Notes: Rich, nectar-like screwpine blossom and soft roseate undertones.
• Base Notes: Creamy, warm, balsamic, and grounding Indian Sandalwood.

• Fine Fragrances: Acts as an exceptional natural fixative, adding a unique oriental-floral character to high-end perfumes and luxury colognes.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

• Perfumery Accord Idea: To create a luxurious, exotic oriental-floral accord, blend Kewra Attar at 2% to 5% concentration with absolute oils of Jasmine Sambac, Rose Damascena, and Vetiver (Khus) in an alcohol or jojoba oil base. Its high fixative properties anchor top-heavy citrus notes beautifully.
• Skincare & Cosmetic Formulation: Incorporate Kewra Attar at a concentration of 0.2% to 0.5% in premium facial serums or night creams. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin while imparting a sophisticated, natural fragrance profile.
• Aromatherapy Blend: For stress-relief and respiratory soothing formulations, blend 3 drops of Kewra Attar with 5 drops of Frankincense and 4 drops of Sweet Orange in 30ml of a carrier oil like Jojoba or Fractionated Coconut Oil.
• High-End Soap Making: Use Kewra Attar at 1% to 1.5% of total oil weight in cold-process soaps. The sandalwood base provides excellent scent retention and prevents the fragrance from fading during the curing process.
