Aromatic Description: Rose Damask 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. It's exotic nature and value were appreciated in ancient times by the Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Persians and Romans. All documentation indicates that their medical applications of the essential oil were identical to those that exist today. Cautions: Non-sensitizing, Non-toxic, and Non-irritating.
Disclaimer: Please note, the International Federation of Aromatherapists do not recommend that Essential Oils be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy.

This one reminds me of my childhood in Sweden, there were many rose bushes where I lived.

A rose with almost a stereotypical middle eastern touch (considering it's origin). The scent is musky, very rosy, and subtly sweet. Worth the price.
