My payment failed but money was debited. What now?
Don’t worry — failed payments are reversed automatically by your bank, usually within 5–7 business days. If your order shows “payment pending”, it may still confirm within minutes. Write to care@aayatalruh.com with your order number and we’ll check it for you.
Returns
Can I return a fragrance?
Because fragrances and oils are personal-care products, we can accept returns of unopened items with the seal intact within 7 days of delivery. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, tell us within 48 hours and we’ll replace or refund it — see our Returns policy.
How do I cancel an order?
Write to care@aayatalruh.com or WhatsApp us on +91 81081 56705 with your order number before it ships, and we’ll cancel it and refund you in full.
Our fragrances
What is the difference between a perfume and an attar?
Our perfumes are Eau de Parfum sprays — airy, diffusive and lovely on clothes. Attars are the same compositions as pure, alcohol-free oils — concentrated, skin-close and remarkably long-lasting. Many scents come in both; use the Perfume / Attar switch on any product.
Are your attars alcohol-free?
Yes. Every attar is a pure oil blend with no alcohol, made in the traditional way.
How long will a fragrance last on me?
Perfumes typically last 6–10 hours and attars 10–14 hours or more, depending on your skin, the weather and where you apply them. Each product shows its longevity and projection.
Are the therapy oils safe for my skin?
Our therapy oils are blended for aromatherapy and topical use as directed, but every skin is different. Always do a patch test first, and speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing or have a medical condition. They support wellbeing and are not a medical treatment.
How should I store my fragrances?
Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat, with the cap closed. Stored well, a perfume stays beautiful for years and an attar deepens with age.
Gifting
Do you gift-wrap?
Yes — add gift wrap with a handwritten note in your bag for ₹99. We never include the invoice inside gift-wrapped parcels.
What is the complimentary sample?
Orders above ₹2,499 unlock a free 2 ml sample of your choice at checkout — a lovely way to discover your next favourite.
