What Makes Chandan Oud Attar So Special? A Look Into the Legacy of Kannauj’s Timeless Fragrance

Fragrances tell stories — and few are as rich, deep, and timeless as Chandan Oud Attar. This luxurious blend of Sandalwood (Chandan) and Oud is not just a scent; it’s a legacy. At Santal Bliss, we honour over 45 years of traditional distillation craftsmanship from Kannauj, India’s perfume capital.

In this post, let’s explore what makes Chandan Oud Attar truly unique — from its traditional roots to its modern-day benefits.

🌳 What Is Chandan Oud Attar?

Chandan Oud Attar is a natural, alcohol-free perfume made using a time-honoured method called Deg Bhapka distillation. It combines:

Chandan (Sandalwood) – Known for its soft, creamy, and calming aroma

Oud – A deep, resinous fragrance derived from agarwood, valued globally for its rich warmth

This combination creates a balanced, long-lasting scent that’s both woody and luxurious, with grounding, earthy undertones.

🌿 Why Choose Traditional Attars?

Unlike synthetic perfumes that use alcohol and chemicals, traditional Indian attars are:

✅ Alcohol-free and skin-friendly

✅ Long-lasting (ours lasts 12–15 hours)

✅ Natural and non-irritating

✅ Made through steam distillation in copper vessels — preserving aroma without additives

At Santal Bliss, we use GI-tagged distillation methods, preserving purity and regional authenticity from Kannauj.
