Product Description

Rich, sweet, floral aroma. Dark yellow to amber in colour. Did you know? Rose has been highly prized for centuries. There are over 10, 000 types of cultivated rose, many of which are extensively used in toiletries for both men & women. It is extremely difficult to extract oil from the petals of the rose. The two main ways are first, solvent extraction of a concentrate which is then produced into an absolute, & second, distillation to produce an essential oil. Production of an absolute gives a better yield, but distillation gives a much finer fragrance. Rosa Centifolia, & its close relatives, are cultivated widely in Morocco to produce a rose concentrate, from which an absolute is extracted. The product is also known as rose de mai absolute. The yield of absolute from Rosa Centifolia is somewhat higher than for the Turkish & Bulgarian Rosa Damascena, whereas the yield of the distilled oil is somewhat lower. Thus it is common to find the absolutes coming from Morocco & the distilled oils coming from Turkey & Bulgaria.
