Bakul by Attar Bazaar is an Absolute Blended Oil. This scent is truly unique and smells different on the skin than in the bottle (as is true with many scents). It's an intriguing dark scent that smells very resinous and very musky with fruity, woody, and floral notes. Bakul is a soft and subtle fragrance, almost like a floral sandalwood. If you're looking for something different and adventurous, you must try Bakul.
Bakul Attar is derived from bakula, which is India's most sacred as well as beautiful flowering tree. It is most commonly found on the western coast of India and flowers between the months of March through August. Filling the air with an intoxicating aroma, the perfume of bakul flower (Also called "garland flower") lasts for a very long time & therefore is symbolic for lasting love and devotion. Bakul trees are frequently found growing at temple entrances. The deep green leafy branches of the bakuls offer luxuriant shade and cool respite from India's blazing heat, creating a peaceful atmosphere that is conducive to meditation. Prepared from absolutes obtained from star shaped Bakul flowers, the attar is also among the most preferred due to its soft & floral fragrance.
Truly a fragrance for your soul!
As with all absolute and essential oils, do not take internally. Keep away from children. If applying an essential oil to your skin always perform a small patch test to an insensitive part of the body.
Both essential oils and absolute oils are 100% natural. They differ in their method of obtaining the oil. Essential oil is largely obtained using steam distillation. However, when a plant material is too delicate for that process, solvent extraction is used to obtain what is called an absolute oil. Then all solvent is removed to complete the finished product.
Always follow the safety guidelines below when working with any essential oil:
- Always dilute essential oils properly before using. Never apply an undiluted essential oil directly to your skin.
- Don’t eat or drink essential oils unless you’re under the supervision of a qualified professional.
- When using essential oils for aromatherapy, make sure the room you’re in has good ventilation.
- Think about who else is in the room inhaling the aromatherapy. Some essential oils are dangerous for pregnant women, children, and pets.
- Keep essential oils away from your eyes.
- If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant, talk with your doctor before using essential oils.
- Keep essential oils in a place where children and pets can’t get to them.
- When shopping for essential oils, be aware of any product information that claims to treat a specific disease or condition. The Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate most essential oils, so these claims may be more marketing and not be validated by research.
Essential oils and pet safety:
- It’s important to know that some essential oils can be very harmful to animals, even when diffused and depending on dilution. If you have questions or concerns about your pet, speak to a veterinarian. More resources are available from places like the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
