For over three centuries, the Attar name has stood as a symbol of refined natural perfumery — a legacy carried across continents, preserved through generations, and practiced with uncompromising devotion. Today, Attar Perfume is regarded as one of America’s oldest and most discreet artisan perfume houses, crafting rare, small-batch fragrances for collectors and connoisseurs across the USA.
From the Old World to the New
Our story began in the early 1700s, when our forefather, Sayed Mohammed al-Attar, founded The House of the Perfumist in Istanbul. A scholar, distiller, and visionary, he pioneered new methods of botanical extraction and scent refinement — establishing a gold standard for purity and excellence.
The name “Attar” — meaning perfumist in Arabic — soon became synonymous with integrity, mastery, and poetic craftsmanship. From Ottoman courts to royal caravans, Attar oils were treasured by sultans, poets, and noble travelers alike.
Across Oceans, Through Generations
In the early 20th century, our family carried its manuscripts, rituals, and tools across the Atlantic, settling in the United States. From New York and Boston to Chicago and Los Angeles, the Attar legacy quietly found new soil.
Known only to insiders — artists, collectors, and fragrance savants — our atelier became a whispered destination for those seeking authentic oud perfume in America or genuine artisan attar untouched by mass production.
The Modern Era: Craft Over Fame
Today, the house is led by sixth-generation distillers, guardians of blends refined over centuries. We remain fiercely independent — no mass manufacturing, no outsourcing, no shortcuts. Every bottle is hand-poured, hand-sealed, and individually certified.
Our collection — from oud oil USA and Taif rose to musk, sandalwood, and ambergris — is crafted only with the world’s most noble botanicals, sourced directly from the forests and farms that made them legendary.
A Tradition Preserved in Silence
We do not create perfumes for trends. We create them for those who collect stories in scent.
Whether you are in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, or San Francisco — to wear Attar is to inherit a legacy. A fragrance not just worn — but understood.
Welcome to Attar Perfume.
Where history is bottled, and heritage is worn.
