Where Does Rose Essential Oil Come From?

Symbolic of love, beauty, and seduction, roses have been
adored for thousands of years. Persians perfected the

distillation of rosewater and rose essential oil during the

Middle Ages, and Rose became famous for its ability to
improve the complexion throughout Europe, Asia, and the

Middle East. Today, rose bushes are well-known

ornamental plants throughout the world and Rose

essential oil graces high-end lotions, fragrances,
cosmetics, and nutritional products.

There are hundreds of rose species in the world. The

damask rose (Rose damascene) originates from Asia and
is one of the most desirable roses, due to its superior

fragrance, its scarcity, and its remarkable emotional

benefits. The aroma of damask rose is indulgent and
relaxing. It is also said to be rejuvenating.
