attar

An essential oil extracted from flowers.

Now, when orange-flowers are distilled with water, we procure the otto of the blossom, which is known commercially as oil of neroli.

I bequeath to you my literary work. Useless though these might be commercially, they are the attar-drops distilled from the long and futile ebullience of my life.

A perfume made from this oil.

A surname.
