Ruh Gulab attar is a Flora Five original — "ruh" is Urdu for soul, and that is exactly what sits in this bottle: the soul of the rose, coaxed from fresh petals and buds into one concentrated oil. It opens dewy and green with geranium and a mist of cardamom, deepens into Damask and Centifolia rose laced with honeyed nectar and lotus, and settles into rose absolute over velvet musk, lasting roughly 8–10 hours on skin.

Being 100% alcohol-free, this oil is gentle on skin and suitable for namaz and daily prayer. Roll a small amount onto your pulse points — wrists, either side of the neck, behind the ears — and let your body heat open the rose slowly. Keep it off white fabric; a concentrated oil this rich can leave a mark.

Frequently asked questions
What does Ruh Gulab smell like?
Like standing in a rose field at first light. The opening is fresh and slightly green — petals, buds, a whisper of cardamom — before the heart turns unmistakably to true rose: Damask depth and Centifolia softness sweetened with honeyed nectar. The drydown is warm rather than sharp, rose absolute wrapped in velvet musk with a creamy finish. It reads as rose from first roll to last trace, which is precisely the point.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 8–10 hours on skin, with a moderate sillage of about 4–6 hours before it settles into a personal scent. Rose oils cling especially well to fabric and hair, where a single application can still be noticeable the next day. One or two swipes at the pulse points is genuinely enough.
Is it alcohol-free and halal?
Yes — Ruh Gulab is a 100% alcohol-free perfume oil, making it halal and appropriate to wear for prayers. Because there is no alcohol to evaporate off, the scent does not "blast" and vanish; it warms up gradually with your skin and stays close and rounded throughout the day.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
For a rose of this concentration, the 3 ml is a sensible first bottle — it will comfortably give you weeks of wear. Pick the 6 ml once you know it suits your skin, and the 12 ml if rose is your signature or you plan to share it. Oil attars use far less per wear than sprays, so every size lasts longer than you would expect.
At Flora Five, all our attars are meticulously crafted to maintain their authenticity and purity. Each blend is 100% oil-based and free from alcohol, ensuring a rich, long-lasting scent experience.
To preserve the integrity of our attars and protect them from contamination or loss of their distinctive scent profiles, we incorporate essential, non-toxic regulatory substances like antioxidants. These carefully chosen components ensure the longevity and stability of your attar without compromising safety.
While no additional ingredients in our formulations are inherently harmful, we recommend patch testing before full use to rule out any potential allergies. At Flora Five, your safety and satisfaction are as important as the elegance of our fragrances.
