ROSEN ABSOLUE

ROSE ABSOLUTE

Rose Absolute – The noble essence of the queen of flowers

Rose absolute is one of the most precious and sensual ingredients in haute perfumery. Extracted from the Damask or Centifolia rose, it represents elegance, delicacy, and timeless beauty. Its incomparable fragrance characterizes some of the world's most exclusive perfumes.

Origin & Production

Rose absolute is obtained from fresh petals through solvent extraction—a particularly gentle process that preserves the full depth and complexity of the rose fragrance. The main growing areas are Bulgaria, Turkey, and Grasse, France. Approximately 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of rose petals are needed to produce just one kilogram of rose absolute—a testament to its exceptional preciousness.

Fragrance profile

Rose absolute offers an intensely floral, warm, and slightly spicy bouquet with a velvety depth. Its fragrance is significantly fuller than classic rose oil and often unfolds in the heart note of a perfume. Typical fragrance facets include:

  • Floral-velvety

  • Honey-like

  • Fresh green

  • Slightly spicy

Use in perfumery

In fine perfumery, rose absolute is used to add depth, elegance, and romance. It pairs perfectly with ingredients such as:

  • Oud – for oriental opulence

  • Musk – for soft, skin-close warmth

  • Citrus fruits – for fresh lightness

  • Patchouli & Amber – for earthy depth
