Ruh Pan Attar By Kannauj | Pure & Natural Attar

Ruh Pan Attar is a traditional natural perfume oil (attar) made through artisanal distillation methods, often used in fine perfumery and spiritual practices. The term "Ruh" in Arabic means “essence” or “soul,” and "Pan" refers to a traditional South Asian preparation made from betel leaf, areca nut, and various aromatic ingredients. Therefore, Ruh Pan Attar captures the complex, spicy-sweet, herbal aroma of paan (also spelled pan).

🌿 General Description

Ruh Pan Attar is a luxurious, complex fragrance distilled traditionally from fresh betel leaves (Piper betle) and sometimes blended with other natural essences such as rose, sandalwood, cardamom, or kewda. It is typically produced in Kannauj, India — known as the “Perfume Capital of India.”

• "Ruh" = the pure essence/soul.

• "Pan" (or paan) = betel leaf, widely used in India for chewing after meals.
  So, Ruh Pan is the pure essence of betel leaves.

• A Kannauj Fragrance given by a perfumer to distinguish their own style of Ruh Pan.

• Or a blend variation where betel leaf essence (Ruh Pan) is softened with other fresh, floral, or woody notes (often perfumers add sandalwood or subtle florals for refinement).
