  • One of the most captivating tales of Rose Essential Oil involves Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt.

Rose otto or rose absolute

Rose comes in two forms and they are not interchangeable.

Rose otto is steam distilled from Rosa damascena, the Damask rose. Lighter, fresher, slightly green. It goes semi-solid below room temperature, which is normal and is caused by a waxy constituent called stearoptene.

Rose absolute is solvent extracted, usually from Rosa centifolia. Deeper, sweeter, closer to the smell of the living flower, and darker in colour.

TANAMERA Kashmiri Rose is Rosa damascena, which is a rose otto.
