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.
