Moulshree is a very beautiful flower and it is also called Bakul. Its scientific name is Mimusops Elengi. Creamy white fragrant flowers have such a great fragrance that it fills the night air with the delicious heady aroma. flowers are small, star shaped with a crown rising from the center. In the morning, the fragrant flowers which so graciously scented their surroundings with their deep, rich fragrance during the evening hours,fall to the ground. people love to collect them as they retain their odor for many days after day fall.

Bakul is known as a herb as well and had been mentioned in ayurveda. Due to have many benefits, These flowers are used for production of its attar.

Moulshree flowers in water are kept in a copper made still, a Deg. The lid(The Sarpos) of the still, is sealed with clay saturated cloth, sealed with a so called Komoni. Sandalwood oil is kept in the copper receiver(the Bhapka). The furnace is lit and controlled by adding more wood or cow dung cakes (or removing them). The scent of Moulshree is beared by steam with the help of the most skilled workers.The scent of the Moulshree in the steam infuses the sandalwood oil. Over several rounds of Moulshree distillation ,sandalwood oil is imbibed well with the smell of Moulshree.

The Bhapka containing the sandalwood oil is kept cool in a cooling bath or tank which continuously receives fresh cold water. Then the Digha halts the distillation process by wrapping a cold wet cloth around the body of the Deg. The Bhapka is now left to rest so oil and Lotus water can separate. The water is then carefully poured away from the oil. The Lotus water is then poured back into the Deg and fresh Lotus Flowers are added again. This process is continued until the desired quality of the attar is reached. Then the attar is poured into a leather bottle, which is ideally kept in the sunlight for some time to evaporate its moisture for the best result.

It is 100% pure and natural attar with the base of sandalwood oil so it it much appreciated among aromatherapists, cosmetics and perfumers.
