Aromatic Description: Rose Damask Turkish is a very complex, sweet floral scent. Its reputation of being a must ingredient in perfumes is well deserved. ** It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - become lost. History: Approximately 4000 kilograms of petals are required to produce 1 kilogram of pure rose oil. There is evidence to show roses have existed for millions of years. It is generally believed that the Rosa damascena originated in the Neolithic period as a hybridization of Rosa gallica and Rosa phoenicia - both of which have grown wild in Turkey for centuries. There is also evidence that rose oil was prepared as early as 400 B.C. by macerating roses in olive oil.
Cautions: Non-sensitizing, Non-toxic, and Non-irritating.

To date, I'm still trying to find a rose oil that smells like the true rose. The one comes closest is the one carried by Jurlique (of Australia), but their rose oils are soooo expensive. I wish ND would find a rose grower that distills such oils. I think the one Jurlique carries smells more than "old roses". In any case, this Turkish rose oil is great; it smells sweet and intense.
