This Bulgarian Rose absolute, an exquisite oil extracted from Rose damascena grown in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, a region renowned as the "Valley of Roses," exhibits an aroma reminiscent of freshly cut roses.
This Rose absolute is solvent extracted, which gives it its distinct deep orange-reddish color, slightly thick texture, and a strong, sweet, mature floral smooth honey scent. Unlike other solvent-extracted Rose damascena absolutes that often have an odd, fermented, or sour aroma, this one has a pristine, natural scent without any tell-tale signs of solvent extraction. Such quality makes it an ideal choice for natural perfumers who want to create a luxurious and delicate fragrance.
When using this absolute in perfume blends, it's best to use it sparingly as it is highly concentrated. It is advisable to dilute it to reveal and appreciate all the aromatic notes. Rose absolute is an expensive oil to produce, and it requires several thousand pounds of rose petals to make just one ounce of oil. The petals are harvested by hand before sunrise, and the processing is completed on the same day to retain the delicate fragrance.
Although this Bulgarian Rose absolute is more costly than other Rose absolutes, its pristine aromatic quality makes it worth every penny. It is advisable to order it soon while it's still available if you're looking for a beautifully fragrant Rose damascena.
In addition, Bulgarian Rose absolute has numerous benefits, making it a prized ingredient in various skincare products. It's an uplifting and soothing oil from an aromatherapy standpoint and can help to overcome depression, grief, anger, and fear. It's an excellent addition to cosmetics geared toward broken capillaries, dry skin, eczema, herpes, mature, and sensitive skin. Its versatility and valuable properties make it a must-have in any skincare routine.
