Description

The damask rose (damascena rose) offers one of the most emblematic and appreciated scents in the world of perfumery. Its fragrance is deeply floral, velvety and complex, with sweet, spicy and slightly citrusy nuances. The rose scent is both elegant and sensual, evoking delicacy and femininity.

Cultivated since ancient times, the damascena rose is especially valued in Bulgaria and Turkey, where the best rose essential oils are produced. The flowers should be harvested at dawn, when their aroma is most intense.

In perfumery, the rose is considered the “queen of flowers” and is one of the most valuable ingredients. Its olfactory complexity includes more than 300 different compounds, which explains its aromatic richness and its ability to combine with almost any other ingredient.
