Rose Absolute is a highly esteemed material in perfumery, known for its rich, deep, and multi-dimensional rose fragrance. Extracted from the petals of the rose flower, primarily from species like Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia, Rose Absolute is a dense, aromatic oil. It has a profound, sweet floral scent with honey-like undertones and a slightly spicy, green, and fruity nuance. Its complexity adds depth and luxury to a fragrance composition. In perfumery history, roses have been a symbol of love and beauty, with their scent being coveted in various cultures. Rose Absolute, with its intense and voluptuous aroma, is often used in high-end and classic fragrances. It imparts an opulent rose character to perfumes, making it a favorite in floral and oriental compositions. The process of extracting Rose Absolute involves solvent extraction, which yields a more complete representation of the rose's scent compared to steam distillation.
Natural or Synthetic?
Rose Absolute is primarily used in its natural form in perfumes. The extraction process from the rose petals is feasible and yields a high-quality, aromatic oil that is highly prized in the fragrance industry. While synthetic alternatives exist, they are not widely used as substitutes for the natural absolute due to the latter's superior olfactory qualities and the established extraction methods available.
