Rose Oil

Rose oil, also known as rose otto or attar of roses, is a precious essential oil extracted from the petals of various types of roses through a process of steam distillation. Highly revered in the cosmetic and perfume industry for its rich, intoxicating aroma, rose oil offers a quintessentially floral scent that is deeply embedded with nuances of sweet, lush, and slightly spicy notes that evoke romantic and indulgent sensations.

The scent profile of rose oil is typically characterized by its multi-layered complexity. At its core, the fragrance is dominantly floral, embodying the classic, true-to-nature scent of fresh roses. This main note is beautifully intertwined with subtle hints of honey and a soft, velvety spice that enhances its luxurious and soothing nature. Depending on the specific variety of rose and the extraction technique, undertones can also include hints of lemon, green, or even slightly musky elements, adding to the depth and richness of the aroma.

With its potent and soothing fragrance, rose oil is widely used in high-end perfumery, aromatherapy, and skincare products, not only for its delightful scent but also for its purported therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and mood-enhancing effects. Its sophisticated and timeless fragrance makes it a perennial favorite in both traditional and modern fragrance formulations.
