Attar Bottle Sizes, Styles and Applicators: A Wholesale Buyer's Guide

Attar and other concentrated perfume oils are sold in small volumes, applied directly to skin, and often bought as gifts. That makes the bottle unusually important: it decides how much oil the customer uses, whether it leaks in a bag, and how premium the product looks on a counter. This guide covers the sizes, applicators and styles that attar brands most often ask us about, and what to check before you order in bulk.

Common attar bottle sizes

• 1ml to 3ml – testers, samples and discovery sets. Small amber roll-ons such as 1/2/3ml Amber Mini Glass Roll-On Bottle with Black Cap (RO-0012) are a low-cost way to let customers try a scent.
• 3ml and 6ml – the everyday retail sizes for many attar shops. They fit in a pocket and keep the price per bottle accessible.
• 12ml – many sellers use 12ml as a one-tola size. A tola is the traditional unit for selling attar in the Gulf and South Asia, about 11.66 grams.
• 15ml to 50ml – decorative and gift bottles, display bottles on a counter, or larger oils that are decanted into smaller bottles.

If you sell the same scent in several sizes, choose a style that comes in a size range, such as 3/6/12ml Clear Octagonal Glass Attar Roll-On Bottle with Gold Cap (RO-0019) or 3-12ml Clear Octagonal Glass Attar Roll-On Bottle with Gold Cap (RO-0022). The family look stays the same while the price points change.

Roller ball, glass stick or dropper?

• Roller ball. The easiest for daily use and travel. The customer applies a thin line of oil with little waste. Ask for a leak test with your own oil, because thin oils creep past a loose roller fitting.
• Glass stick (dauber). The traditional way to apply attar: the stick is attached under the cap and dabs oil onto the skin. Buyers search for “attar bottle with stick” because many customers expect it. Tell us if you need a stick applicator and we confirm which models can take one.
• Dropper. Useful for larger decorative bottles and for oils that are measured or decanted. Jeweled bottles such as 10ml Gold-Plated Jeweled Glass Attar Dropper Bottle with Gold Metal Dropper (DP-0008) and 12ml Gold-Plated Jeweled Glass Attar Dropper Bottle with Gold Metal Dropper (DP-0009) use a metal dropper that matches the bottle.

Pure perfume oils are usually applied by roller, stick or dropper rather than sprayed. If your product is an alcohol-based perfume, see our perfume bottles instead.

Decorative styles that sell well for attar

• Clear octagonal or crystal-cut glass with a gold cap: clean, classic and easy to brand. Example: 3/6/12ml Clear Octagonal Glass Attar Roll-On Bottle with Gold Cap (RO-0019).
• Jeweled and metal-overlay bottles in gold or antique bronze for gift and premium lines: 12ml Gold-Plated Jeweled Glass Attar Dropper Bottle with Gold Metal Dropper (DP-0009), 15ml Antique Bronze Jeweled Glass Attar Dropper Bottle with Black Dropper (DP-0010).
• Colored decorative bottles with gold detailing, for display and gifting: 12/50ml Green and Gold Decorative Glass Attar Roll-On Bottle with Crystal-Top Gold Cap (RO-0009).
• Simple amber or frosted roll-ons for brands that want a modern, minimal look. Browse all roll-on bottles.

What to check before a bulk order

1. Leakage with your oil. Fill the sample with your actual oil, store it on its side for a few days and check the cap and roller area.
2. Cap and plating. Gold and silver caps are usually plated or anodized. Check how the finish holds up after handling and contact with oil.
3. Glass weight and wall thickness. A heavier base feels more premium, but it adds shipping weight. Decide which matters more for your price point.
4. Decoration method. Logos can be silk-screened, hot-stamped in gold or silver, or applied as labels. Confirm the method on the sample, since it affects cost and look.
5. Packing for shipping. Small decorative bottles need partitions or individual boxes. Plan your gift box together with the bottle.
