Chandan & Sandalwood Attar
Sandalwood is the note Indian perfumery is built on: soft, creamy and woody, quiet enough for everyday wear and traditional enough for the temple. Peflora carries it plain as Sandalwood, blended with saffron as Chandan Kesar, and as a sugandhit spray.

Chandan Kesar
Sandalwood with saffron over it. The kesar adds a warm, slightly sweet edge to the wood and makes it feel richer without making it louder.
Why it suits everyone
Sandalwood is one of the few notes that reads as neither masculine nor feminine, which is why it is the usual choice for a shared bottle at home.
A base for layering
Chandan under a floral attar gives the flower something to hold onto. Rose over sandalwood is the classic pairing and lasts longer than rose alone.
Used in pooja
Sandalwood is traditional for prayer and meditation, and because these attars are alcohol free they can be used for it.
Common questions
What is the difference between chandan attar and sandalwood attar?
They are the same note — chandan is simply the Hindi word for sandalwood. On this shop, Sandalwood is the plain oil and Chandan Kesar is sandalwood blended with saffron.
Is chandan attar good for pooja?
Yes. Sandalwood is traditionally used in prayer, and Peflora's attars contain no alcohol, which is what makes them suitable for it.
How long does sandalwood attar last on skin?
Several hours, and longer on clothing. It is a base note, so it lasts longer than florals or citrus but is quieter than oud throughout.
