Damask Rose Absolute is a concentrated natural aromatic product obtained from fresh flowers of Rosa × damascena Mill. It is produced by processing rose concrete with ethanol, which separates the aromatic fraction and reduces the waxy components. The result is a thick liquid with a reddish to orange-red tone and a rich rose aroma.
