Turkish rose

Rose absolute oil is obtained through solvent extraction of fresh petals. It appears as an opalescent brown liquid with a distinctive, sweet, floral, and intense pinkish scent, with a spicy-honeyed undertone.

The medicinal properties of the rose (a supreme natural anti-inflammatory) have been renowned since ancient times, and although this flower is now rarely used in herbal medicine, it played an essential role in medicine until the Middle Ages (just consider the treatise on Avicenna).
Rose oil has proven analgesic, antidepressant, antiseptic, antituberculosis, hemostatic, sedative, purifying, healing, and, above all, aphrodisiac properties. It has undoubtedly been the most noble, sought-after, and appreciated perfume since the dawn of humanity.
Rose absolute oil is renowned for being a precious natural aromatic raw material: just consider that to obtain one gram of it, almost three kilograms of fresh petals are needed (and still less than a third of the amount needed to obtain the same quantity of essential oil).
It harmonizes well with all other absolute and essential oils thanks to its ability to smooth out the top notes in the composition but, similarly to the essential oil, it gives truly excellent results when mixed with those of: Agarwood, Bergamot, Matricaria Chamomile, Clove, Geranium, Lavender, Neroli, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Black Pepper, Clary Sage, Sandalwood as well as with Benzoin absolute.

Rose absolute is widely used in fine perfumery, cosmetics, and luxury soaps.

It is a small, thorny shrub up to two and a half meters tall, with light-colored, serrated leaves and beautiful, fragrant pink (or purple) flowers with thirty-six petals. There are over 150 species.
