Mitti Attar is one of India’s most iconic natural perfumes. It captures the warm, comforting aroma of first rain on dry soil — a fragrance that instantly brings peace, nostalgia, and a sense of connection to nature.
Only a few artisans in Kannauj, the Perfume Capital of India, still craft this attar using the original 400-year-old method.
Here’s a clear, user-friendly guide to how PerfumesKannauj creates authentic and long-lasting Mitti Attar.

🌿 What Is Mitti Attar?
Mitti Attar is a natural perfume made from baked clay.
Its aroma smells like:
- First rain
- Wet soil
- Freshly baked clay cups (kulhad)
- Monsoon breeze
This attar is 100% natural, alcohol-free, and extremely calming.
🏺 How Mitti Attar Is Made – Easy Step-By-Step
Here is the complete process in the simplest form:
1. Choosing the Right Soil
We start with special clay from riverbanks around Kannauj.
This soil has natural minerals that give it a warm earthy scent.
2. Clay Is Made Into Small Cups
The clay is shaped into small cups/tiles and dried.
After drying, these pieces are baked just like pottery.
This baking locks the natural “mitti” aroma inside.
3. Filling the Deg (Copper Pot)
A traditional copper vessel called Deg is used.
We add:
- Crushed baked clay pieces
- Clean water
This is the base of the fragrance.
4. Sealing and Heating
The Deg is sealed with natural clay and cloth.
It is slowly heated with wood fire.
As the water boils, it releases steam carrying the fragrance of baked clay.
5. Steam Travels to the Bhapka
The aromatic steam moves through a bamboo pipe into another container called Bhapka.
Inside this container, we keep:
- Sandalwood oil (traditional base)
or - High-quality natural carrier oil
The clay fragrance mixes gently with this base oil.
6. Resting & Maturation
Once distillation is complete, the attar is allowed to rest.
This maturation makes the perfume richer, deeper, and long-lasting.
