Rose - Essential Oil
Rose, Organic: Bulgaria (Rosa damascena)
The therapeutic Rose we use is actually a hybrid derived from two or three different species that originally came from the Gulf of Persia. In the 10thcentury, the first Rose oil was distilled by a Persian physician, with the distillery existing up until 1612. Also, during the 16th century, Turkish merchants imported roses for cultivation in Bulgaria and Turkey. Soon Bulgaria became known for its high-quality oil and was the world’s largest exporter.
When the flowers are ready, they must be handpicked early in the morning and distilled immediately before any major loss of oil. Rose is one of those special oils that use the double steam distilled extraction methods to obtain the complex chemistry found in the therapeutic oil. The pure therapeutic oil is highly concentrated, and it takes about ninety pounds of rose petals to make 15ml of oil.
Pure Rosa damascene goes solid at just below room temperature and has more of a honey like fragrance that is quite intense. Normally people prefer it highly blended to a gentler aroma. Due to the high price of pure quality oil, the Rose market is flooded with inferior quality and adulterated oil.
