Definition as written by Terry:
A term for a perfume from flowers. In Europe, it generally applies only to the attar (otto) of roses, a concentrate which smells pleasant only when diffused.
The process of collecting this concentrate is inefficient - 150 pounds of rose flowers will yield less than an ounce of attar.
