What does ATTAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A concentrated, fragrant essential oil, especially one distilled from rose petals, used in perfumery.
Traditional attar is produced by slowly distilling large quantities of flower petals, most often damask roses, since it can take many kilograms of petals to yield even a small amount of the finished oil. Perfumers prize attar for its intensity and long-lasting scent, and it is often used undiluted or blended into other fragrances rather than worn directly at full strength. Production of rose attar has a long history in regions such as India, Iran, and Bulgaria, where rose harvests are timed early in the morning to preserve the scent. The word can also describe similar oils distilled from other flowers, though rose attar remains by far the best known.
