Damask Rose, botanically known as Rosa damascena, is a highly prized flower in perfumery for its rich, complex, and intoxicating floral scent. Originating from the Middle East, the Damask Rose has been cultivated for centuries for its fragrance. The process of extracting oil from the rose petals is typically done through steam distillation, yielding rose essential oil and rose water. The scent of Damask Rose is deeply floral, with hints of honey and green notes, making it a staple in many classic and modern perfumes. It is particularly prominent in the floral fragrance family, often forming the heart of rose-based perfumes. While natural Damask Rose oil is preferred for its authenticity, synthetic versions are also used in the industry.
Natural or Synthetic?
Damask Rose oil is naturally extracted through steam distillation of the petals. Synthetic versions are also used due to high cost and limited availability of natural oil.
