Attar Al Has is a perfumery house founded in 2021 in Istanbul by Ersin Bas and Sinan Karakas. Its name refers to the tradition of "attar," the artisan perfumer who extracts, distills, and blends raw materials using ancient savoir-faire. The house embraces this heritage without seeking to replicate it identically. It develops a contemporary signature based on references from Oriental perfumery. Its positioning is at the crossroads of different olfactive cultures. Inheriting a territory historically located between East and West, Attar Al Has crafts its perfumes by combining emblematic raw materials such as oud, amber, saffron, and spices with more modern structures. Compositions are developed in collaboration with perfumers from diverse backgrounds, both European and Middle Eastern, to integrate approaches rather than oppose them. This principle is also reflected in the design of the bottles, inspired by Ottoman decorative codes. Conceived as elaborate objects, they extend the attention paid to materials and craftsmanship. Attar Al Has thus develops perfumery built on historical references, while recontextualizing them within a contemporary framework.
