Rose Otto

Rose otto, also known as rose oil or attar of roses, is a luxurious and highly prized essential oil extracted from the petals of various types of roses, particularly the Rosa damascena. Distilled via steam distillation, this process preserves the delicate fragrance compounds of the rose petals, unlike solvent extraction used in producing rose absolute.

The scent profile of rose otto is deeply floral, rich, and enchanting with a complex array of nuances. Its primary note is an intense, sweet floral aroma that captures the lush essence of a blooming rose. This is accompanied by subtle hints of spice and a slight undertone of honey, creating a soothing and harmonious blend. Unlike rose absolute, which can have a more robust, green, and slightly spicy character, rose otto is typically more refined, delicate, and closer to the natural scent of fresh rose petals.

Renowned for its emotional uplifting properties, rose otto is often used in aromatherapy to soothe stress and anxiety. It is also a staple in high-end perfumery, skincare, and luxury cosmetics, valued not only for its captivating fragrance but also for its reputed therapeutic benefits.
