Rose - essential oil

My favourite oil - especially for women.

 

Rose (Rosa damascena)

It is the queen of essential oils, a deeply feminine aroma.

The oil is soft, honey-sweet, very floral and slightly citrusy.
The absolute is richer, more musky and spicy.

The best oil is from the Kazanlik area in Bulgaria. 
The absolute often comes from Morocco.
