Shamama

Description: Shamama attar is made using agarwood, a famous healing herb and perfume ingredient of antiquity. Agarwood is rare. It is formed when a tree (of the genus Aquilegia or Gyrinops) is attacked by a fungus. As the infection progresses, the tree produces a thick, dark, aromatic resin embedded in the heartwood. This must be carefully harvested, then distilled in several stages. Shamama attar has gained religious significance in ancient civilizations all over the world. It has been used as temple offerings, incense, medicine and perfume. Energetically, shamama attar is known to be purifying, balancing, and to carry transcendent effects. It can enhance the process of transformation, especially connected with spiritual growth. It is often used as an incense offering to welcome the ancestors and spirits.
