Rose Otto Essential Oil (Rosa × damascena Herrm.), also known as Damask Rose Essential Oil, is a concentrated natural aromatic product with a rich, refined and classic rose scent. Rosa × damascena Herrm. is listed as an accepted name by World Flora Online.
The oil is obtained by water-steam distillation of fresh rose flowers. Producing 1 kg of Rose Otto Essential Oil requires approximately 3 to 5 tonnes of fresh rose flowers, depending on the season’s climate conditions, including rainfall, temperatures and flowering development. The flowers are hand-picked early in the morning, before sunrise, and harvesting usually continues until around 10–12 a.m., before the sun heats the blossoms and they start to lose part of their aromatic quality.
Rose Otto Essential Oil is used in luxury cosmetics, fine fragrance and aromatic blends where a deep, elegant and long-lasting rose profile is desired. Studies on Bulgarian Rosa damascena Mill. oil report β-citronellol, geraniol, nerol, phenethyl alcohol, farnesol, as well as alkanes such as nonadecane and heneicosane, which contribute to the oil’s aromatic persistence.
