Rose Essential Oil (Rosa damascena)
Rose Essential Oil (Rosa damascena) is a genuine Rose Otto — steam distilled from hand-harvested rose petals sourced from India, not a solvent-extracted Absolute. It's regarded as one of the world's most luxurious floral oils: deeply rich, romantic and beautifully complex, prized in perfumery, skincare and aromatherapy for its unmatched elegance.
Producing genuine Rose Otto is a remarkably petal-intensive process — it takes an enormous quantity of hand-picked blossoms to yield even a small amount of oil, which is part of what makes it one of the most valuable essential oils in the world. Its rich, true-to-nature floral aroma brings sophistication and depth to perfumes, candles, skincare and luxury wellness formulations.
In skincare, Rose Otto is especially valued for dry, sensitive and mature skin types, commonly featured in facial oils, creams, serums and body products designed to nourish and soften the skin.
In aromatherapy, Rose is renowned for its comforting, emotionally uplifting qualities, often used to encourage relaxation, self-care and a sense of calm during times of stress. Its sensual floral aroma also creates a warm, romantic atmosphere.
A little care goes a long way: Rose Essential Oil is a skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction, so always dilute well before topical use and patch test first. Rose Otto is one of the most commonly adulterated essential oils on the market — GC-MS or chiral GC verification is recommended when authenticity must be confirmed for a specific batch.

Uses ▼

Usage & Formulation Guide ▼
For soap makers, natural perfumers and cosmetic formulators. These are starting points, not finished formulas — always confirm compliance, stability and safety for your own finished product before use — see the IFRA Usage Guidelines document.
Fine Fragrance & Perfumery Accord
Rose Otto is a classic heart note — try it at 1-3% of the fragrance concentrate given its intensity and its IFRA limits, which sit well under 1% in several leave-on categories.
Skincare & Massage Oil Inclusion Rate
For facial oils and serums, Rose Otto works well at 0.5-1% of the total formulation.
Aromatherapy & Diffuser Blend
For a comforting blend, try 2 drops Rose with 3 drops Sandalwood and 2 drops Bergamot.
Cold-Process Soap
Rose Otto's aroma is delicate in cold-process soap due to saponification — try 3-5% of total oil weight, or consider a rose absolute or fragrance oil blend for a stronger, longer-lasting scent.
