Description
Botanical Name: Rosa damascena
Plant Part: Flowers
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Description: The rose is one of the world’s best known flowers – stunning and exotic in both visual appearance and aroma. Otto is a Bulgarian word for "oil". It’s used to differentiate the steam distilled from the absolute. The production of this oil is vary labor intensive; the flowers are carefully handpicked at a particular time of day, when the fragrance of the flower is at its strongest. Since the oil is steam distilled, it only contains the natural essences of the rose petals as opposed to solvent extracted that possibly contains minute amounts of hexane.
