Roses
Rose Essential Oil is the aromatic oil component of plants in the Rosa family (commonly referred to as 'Roses') and is usually from the Damask Rose (Rosa damascena), which is seen as having the most highly prized rose aroma. Rose is one of the more popular oils used in Aromatherapy for the purpose of relaxation.
​
A vital component of fragrance is the rose, also known as the queen of flowers. The essential oil of Rosa damascena has a strong, fresh floral scent. Usually used to enhance a rose reconstitution in floral bouquets or soliflore accords, it is an essential part of the chypre accord.
The rich, flowery perfume of rose petals, especially those of Bulgarian Damask and Centifolia roses, is the primary source of rose oil fragrance, which can be synthetic or natural. The delicate floral notes that are hard to imitate synthetically are preserved in true rose oil, a highly concentrated essential oil that is produced by steam distillation or cold pressing.

Rose oil is mainly used for;
1) Aromatherapy and mood enhancement
2) Skincare and hydration
3) Perfumes and personal fragrance
4) DIY and home use
