The Fragrances
What is the difference between an attar and an eau de parfum?
Attars (or ittar) are alcohol-free, oil-based fragrances created by traditional Deg-Bhapka hydro-distillation. They sit close to the skin, project softly, and evolve over hours. Eau de parfums (EDP) use alcohol as a carrier, project more immediately, and typically last 6–10 hours on skin. Our contemporary compositions are EDP-based and crafted for the modern wearer.
How long do your fragrances last?
Our contemporary compositions at ₹799 are formulated at EDP concentration and typically last 6–8 hours.
Do you offer samples?
Yes - 30ml sample sizes are available for select compositions (shown on each product page). We also offer bespoke sample kits via our Fragrance Consultation service. Contact us on WhatsApp for a curated sample set based on your preferences.
Are your fragrances suitable for sensitive skin?
Our attars contain no alcohol and are generally very well-tolerated by sensitive skin. All compositions in our contemporary line comply with IFRA standards. If you have known sensitivities to specific materials (e.g. oakmoss, certain musks), please check the full notes list on each product page and consult us via WhatsApp before purchasing.
Returns & Other
Can I return a fragrance if I don't like it?
Due to the nature of fragrance, we are unable to accept returns for opened bottles. Sealed, unopened bottles may be returned within 7 days of delivery for a full refund. We strongly encourage ordering a sample before committing to a full bottle - and our free consultation service exists precisely to prevent mismatches.
Do you do wholesale or retail partnerships?
Yes - we work with select boutiques, hotels, and concept stores. Please contact us at hello@sugandhink.in with your business details and we'll respond within 5 working days.
