Absolute Aromas Rose Absolute 2ml

Absolute Aromas Rose Absolute is a rich, sweet, floral aroma and has been highly prized for centuries. It is very calming and balancing and is a renowned aphrodisiac. Rose is also one of the best oils for overthinking and worry as it restores a sense of security and well-being.

There are over 10,000 types of cultivated Rose, many of which are extensively used in toiletries for both men and women.

It is extremely difficult to extract oil from the petals of the rose. The two main ways are first, solvent extraction of a concrete which is then produced into an absolute, or, distillation to produce an essential oil. Production of an absolute gives a better yield, but distillation gives a much finer fragrance.

The product is also known as "rose de mai absolute". The yield of absolute from Rosa Centifolia is somewhat higher than for the Turkish and Bulgarian Rosa Damascena, whereas the yield of the distilled oil is somewhat lower. Thus it is common to find only absolutes coming from Morocco and the distilled oils coming from Turkey and Bulgaria.

This wonderful oil, taken from the 'Queen of Flowers', has long been popular with manufacturers of skincare products.
