Master the Art of Attar: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Layering Surrati Perfume Oils for Maximum Sillage

The Power of Attar

Before the spray bottle, there was the Attar—the concentrated perfume oil, free from alcohol, that is the heart of Arabian perfumery. Surrati offers a wide selection of these potent oils, which are the secret weapon for achieving maximum fragrance longevity and creating a truly bespoke scent. This is your guide to mastering the ancient and modern art of oil layering.

Step 1: The Foundation is Key (The Attar)

Concentrated perfume oils provide a lasting, tenacious base that holds lighter scents in place. Apply your strongest, heaviest oil first.

Technique: Use just one swipe or two small dabs of your chosen Surrati Perfume Oil (such as a classic Oud or Amber-heavy blend) on your warmest pulse points: behind the ears, wrists, and neck.
Why Oils First? The oil molecules are the slowest to evaporate, acting like a primer for everything else.

Step 2: The Core (The EDP Spray)

Now, introduce complexity and projection with a complementary Surrati Eau de Parfum (EDP).

Layering Strategy: If you used a rich Oud oil, choose an EDP with balancing notes like Rose (e.g., Oud Ameeri) or a bright spice. The alcohol in the EDP helps to propel the oil's notes, significantly boosting its sillage (the trail the fragrance leaves).
Application: Spray your EDP over the same points where you applied the Attar. The fragrance is now anchored to the oil.

Step 3: The Finishing Touch (The Light Musk or Floral)

For a professional, polished finish, top the entire composition with a light, airy touch.

The Surrati Musk Secret: A light, clean Musk oil or a subtle Floral oil (like Amber Rose) dabbed lightly on your collarbones or the ends of your hair adds a final layer of sophistication that catches the breeze. This is the final secret to that unforgettable, long-lasting Arabian fragrance cloud.
