Attar comes in small bottles, so many people wonder: how long will it actually last? Because you only use a drop or two at a time, the answer is: longer than you might think. Here is a practical guide to FAHA's four attar sizes.
The Quick Answer
These are rough estimates for one person applying a light dab once or twice a day. Actual use varies with how much you apply and how often.
- 3 ml: around 3 to 5 weeks
- 6 ml: around 2 to 3 months
- 12 ml: around 4 to 6 months
- 24 ml: around 8 months to a year
Which Size Should You Choose?
3 ml: try a new scent. Perfect for testing, carrying in your pocket, or travel. Standard FAHA attars start at Rs 500.
6 ml: your regular attar. A good everyday size that still fits easily in a bag. From Rs 650.
12 ml: your favourite. Once you know you love a scent, the 12 ml gives much better value per ml. From Rs 1,100.
24 ml: your signature. The best value per ml, ideal for the attar you wear every day. From Rs 1,900.
The Value Difference
For a standard FAHA attar, you pay roughly Rs 167 per ml in 3 ml, but only around Rs 79 per ml in 24 ml. The bigger the bottle, the more you save. Read our full guide to attar price per ml.
Make Every Bottle Last Longer
- Use a light touch; one dab is often enough.
- Store it cool, upright and tightly closed. See how to store attar.
- Don't over-apply because of nose blindness.
