Description
The use of solvents yields a deeper, richer rose aroma, making the absolute far better for perfumery, and perhaps for emotional uses. However, for skin care, for internal uses, and for physical effects the pure steam-distilled Bulgarian Rose Otto is the wiser choice. Both are well worth experiencing! One luxury-loving client recommends blending the two for the ultimate sensory experience.
Of all of our various Rose Absolutes, this Rosa damascena has the deepest notes, perhaps a blend of sunshine and shadow. I would call it a deep heart note, compared to the high heart notes of the sunnier centifolia extractions.
The absolute is a deep orange in color, and needs diluting to be truly appreciated. Also available pure and undiluted.
Certificate of Analysis:
Batch No. BU-RDABSRI-1-5
Batch No. BU-58613
BLENDS WITH: All the different rose oils blend especially well with Frankincense, Jasmine, Lemongrass, Mandarine, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Vetiver.
Wonderful and rosey without being overpowering. A great affordable alternative to rose absolute.
Don’t let the fact that this is a dilution fool you, rose is potent, and the quality of this absolute – even diluted – is simply unmatched. And yes, you DO want the absolute and the CO2 in your aromatherapy toolkit.
