Provence Rose Absolute Oil

There are two primary rose species utilised in the production of rose essential oil: Rosa centifolia, also known as the Provence rose or cabbage rose, also called Rosa damascena. Rosa centifolia is primarily cultivated in Egypt, Morocco, and France, prized for its unique fragrance characterised by clear and sweet notes with subtle hints of honey. Rose (Centifolia) Absolute is manufactured through solvent extraction, resulting in a "concrete" mixture comprising fats, waxes, essential oils, and other botanical components. This concrete is then subjected to alcohol treatment to extract the absolute. Rose Absolute boasts a significantly higher concentration of fragrance and therapeutic properties compared to Rose Otto essential oil, necessitating its use in lower concentrations. It possesses a darker hue and exhibits a thicker, more viscous consistency than Rose Otto. At room temperature, rose absolute may solidify within the bottle but can be liquefied again with gentle warming in the hand. The production of rose absolute is associated with high costs, as it demands a substantial quantity of rose petals to yield a minimal amount of oil. Furthermore, the harvesting of these petals must be done manually at sunrise, when the oil yield is at its peak. Despite its cost, Rose is regarded as one of the most exquisite aromatherapy oils available. It offers notable benefits, particularly for the female reproductive system, addressing issues such as PMS, irregular menstrual cycles, menopausal symptoms, irritability, and mood swings. It is also commonly employed to alleviate anxiety and depression, and it boasts exceptional advantages for skincare. Rosa Centifolia contains up to 63% phenylethanol, making it sedative, aphrodisiac and bactericidal.
