Attar of roses or rose essential oil has a lightly sweet and delightfully floral fragrance. From a Bulgarian river valley where rose growing is centuries old, our oil features the petals from thousands of handpicked roses that are required to make a single drop. Woman traditionally gather the blooms, with rose flowers carefully cut one by one and laid in willow baskets.
For your skin, it is:
- a relaxing tonic to tend the soul
- an aromathreapy treatment for mature skin and eczema
- a way to impart joy which freshens the face.
The main constituents of rose essential oil are the fragrant geraniol, citronellol, rose camphor and damascenone.
