WORLD RENOWNED MITTI ATTAR , by Meena Perfumery
The process takes about 20-25 working days , Clay is extracted from the topsoil and baked in a kiln, then immersed in water within copper cauldrons called 'degs', which are then sealed with earth.
“First, it is made into a soft dough, then flattened into discs, which are baked at a fairly high temperature to prepare them for hydro-distillation.”
A cow-dung fire is then lit underneath the cauldron and the vapour travels through bamboo pipes to condense in receivers, over a base of oil, to form the attar. The process is called hydro-distillation.
The attar is stored in leather bottles, which absorb the moisture and further concentrate the fragrance.
Thus, this traditionally made Mitti Attar is exported to many countries through Meena Perfumery.
