Botanical Name: Rosa damascene

Plant Part: Flowers

Extraction Method: Solvent Extraction

Description: The rose is perhaps the world’s best known flower, stunning and exotic in both visual appearance and fragrance.

Color: Golden to amber

Common Uses: Rose Bulgarian Absolute is a very common oil in perfumery and aromatics industries. Aromatherapists and holistic practitioners use it in their practices. A few drops can be used in creams or undiluted to make a product even more emollient and fragrant.

Consistency: Viscous

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Rose generally blends well with all oils, though it works particularly well with Bergamot, Chamomile German, Chamomile Roman, Clary Sage, Geranium, Melissa, Rosewood, Sandalwood, and Ylang-ylang.

Aromatic Scent: Rose Bulgarian Absolute has a very complex, sweet floral scent. Its reputation of being a essential ingredient in perfumes is well deserved.

History: Bulgaria has over a 300 year tradition in essential rose oil distillation. Approximately 4000 kilograms of petals are required to produce 1 kilogram of pure rose oil. Its exotic nature and value were appreciated in ancient times by the Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Persians and Romans. 

Cautions: 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 - becomes lost.

I buy New Directions Aromatics products for personal use only. I've been using the lavender 40/42 oil to help me relax and sleep for at least a couple of decades. I don't have the cash to buy full-on rose essential oil. If I ever win the lottery, one of the first things I'll do is buy a gallon of it, but that seems unlikely. I've wondered about the 3% Bulgarian Rose, mulled it over many times and read the reviews. I wondered how pronounced the scent could be at only a 3% dilution. So I finally bought a 3.3 ounce bottle of this product, and wow! It has the most delicious, soft, perfect rose fragrance. I love it so much. I want this scent in my nose all the time. Why did I wait so long? If you are looking for a beautiful rose, definitely try this. I expect it to be a lifetime favorite from now on.

I am a Licensed Aesthetician and I cannot live without this beautiful oil! I use it both in my professional treatments and for my own personal care. I have used many diffrent brands and this is by far the most Exquisite! I use it for Facial Massage, a Soothing treatmemt following Facial waxing or Deraplaning, and also Blended in My Signature Facial Oil. I highly recommend this beyond measure!

Soft. Lovely. I was concerned that it wouldn't have enough impact, but I discovered that it holds up well in blends and is a truly lovely rose. Thanks ND, the price is tolerable too!

Such a pretty, soft, rose scent! I was a little worried about the strength of a dilution, but it is perfect.

I love this oil. It still has a really nice scent even though it is only 3%. My skin has been much softer since i added this to my toners. I loved how well it hydrated so much that i use it in many of my deep conditioners as well as the leave in. This has become a go-to for me.

it has a very lovely smell but no matter how much i put in my body butter it will not become fragrant..it is overpowered by the scent of shea and cocoa butter. it is probably better for sprays or soap

A perfect way to enjoy the smell of Bulgarian Rose oil without killing your pocketbook. I mix a bit of the 3%, geranium and chamomile and it is like I'm walking through an English garden. For the strength of the oil, the price is an absolute dream. Thank you ND so much!

A wonderful true rose scent, but with more of an exotic aroma, without that grandma smell to it. Spicy rather than dusty. Even as a distillation the scent is strong enough to blend into a perfume without using very much of it, and works wonders with a little sandalwood and ylang.

Nice light rose scent. Looking forward to trying the other rose scents as well. The jojoba oil with it makes this rose a great perfume to perk you up in the middle of the day!

I am amazed at the strength of the scent you get with a 3% dilution! What can I say? I love roses, and the misconception that this old-fashioned rose will be like an old lady's perfume (no offense), is completely out the window! Instead it is a wonderful and complex blend of sweet florals, with a slightly spicy and waxy undertone. I only wish the roses in my garden would smell as lovely as this!

I can't believe I spend so little & get such great product! Even it is 3%, but the smell still there. I add 2 drops Rose Bulgarian in pink clay mask, so luxurious.
