Rose Essential Oil

Description

Rose Essential Oil

Rose essential oil is one of the most precious and luxurious essential oils, extracted primarily from the petals of the Damask rose (Rosa damascena) or the Cabbage rose (Rosa centifolia). The oil is usually obtained through steam distillation or solvent extraction (absolute), yielding a rich, floral, sweet, and deeply romantic aroma.

Revered for centuries as the “Queen of Oils,” rose essential oil has been a symbol of love, beauty, and spirituality. It was highly valued in ancient Persian, Roman, and Egyptian cultures for both perfumery and therapeutic applications. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after oils in aromatherapy, natural skincare, luxury perfumery, and emotional wellness.
