Rose

The Damascus rose is the species attributed to the biblical incense.

Its aroma is the most intense of all species of Rose known to the modern world. It is not surprising that it has been associated with femininity in ancient cultures and given the nickname of the “King of Cosmetics” due to its skin repairing properties, and its ability to adapt to either dry or normal skin.

Rose water or rose oil is distilled from the rose petals during a two-week flowering period. Many flowering bushes are needed to produce a minute amount of oil.

The Rose oil, also known as “Rose Absolute”, is used in tiny amounts, as to distill one liter of oil takes 60,000 Rose petals.

Rose oil has been used through history to sooth troubled souls. It forges a connection to subtle yet powerful energy.
