Attar Volume Guide
Understand our traditional measurements and how long your attar will last.
What is a Tola?
A "Tola" is a traditional ancient Indian and Middle Eastern unit of mass. In the perfumery world, 1 Tola is approximately 11.66 to 12 grams, which translates to roughly 12 ml of Attar.
Application
Pure attars are highly concentrated. A gentle swipe on your pulse points is enough.
Longevity
Natural attars mature with time. The fragrance deepens and becomes smoother as it ages.
