Introduction
● An Odour is a quality of something that
stimulates the olfactory organ; a smell.
● Examples are the smell of earth after rain
has fallen on it (petrichor).
● A fragrance is a pleasant sweet smell.
● Fragrances are often found in natural
resources.
● Most of these resources are botanical in
nature.
● Other resources include animal glands
and/or other natural substances like baked
earth
● Often these substances are used to create
what is known as ‘attars’.
● Attar is an essential oil derived from botanical
sources most commonly through
hydro-distillation .
● This distillation is traditionally done in a wood
base, most common usage being sandalwood
as opposed to western french base of alcohol.
● These are aged in the bases; aging period
can last from one to ten years depending on
the botanicals used and the results desired.

Rationale
● India has a rich tradition of natural perfumes
and is naturally well endowed with botanical
sources required for the same.
● If awareness could be generated among
Indians about indigenous fragrances , it could
lead to renewed interest in traditional
perfumery,thus incentivizing growth of Ittar
industry.
● Presently, India’s perfume market is being
dominated by foreign firms who themselves
import natural ingredients from India
● India’s traditional perfume/ Attar industry is
largely unorganized. Highlighting the
importance and potential of it could possibly
lead to Government support .
