“Rosy”: Floral, rich and sweet, graceful and delicious. Bulgarian Rose is finer in character than Moroccan Rose, and more tender. It is the most valued Rose oil today.

Once you have smelled the genuine Rose Essential Oil you will never again be willing to accept a synthetic rose fragrance as replacement. Whereas the Rose plant has produced an aroma out of many hundred components, synthetic scent merely reproduces the most dominant ingredients, missing out on the subtle refinement of genuine Rose oil.

The potency and incredible fragrancing power of Rose Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba oil, classified as “i/J” (“in Jojoba”).

Consistency: Slightly viscous liquid, more solid if cold.

Aromatherapy properties: Balancing, relaxing, inspiring, comforting. Rose symbolizes passion, romance, sympathy and luxury. Great skincare properties, refining the structure of the skin and balancing its functions. Its mildness, as well as its cooling and astringent properties makes it great for nurturing the sensitive skin surrounding the eyes (as always, properly diluted!)

Rose opens the heart, and has brought calming comfort to many births. It is a very feminine aroma that is frequently used in Aromatherapy to improve a woman’s well-being.
