Overview
Attar Kamal is a traditional Indian attar prepared by hydro-distillation of Pink Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) flowers into pure sandalwood oil.

This attar is produced using traditional deg-bhapka hydro-distillation, a standardized traditional method of distillation practised in and around the regions of Kannauj. The process to make this attar involves layering Pink Lotus flowers in a copper deg (vessel) and distilling them into ~3 kg of sandalwood oil. The process is gradual, using 10–20 kg of lotus in increasing quantity over multiple charges.
-
Number of Distillation Cycles: 15–20 distillation cycles is required onto the same carrier to achieve the desired lotus profile.
