Perfumer's Tips
Bulgarian Rose is best used as a heart note to impart depth and sophistication to floral compositions. Its intensity means it should be balanced carefully with other notes. It works exceptionally well in combination with musks and woods to create a rich base, or with lighter citrus and fruity notes for a fresher appeal. The quality of the rose oil can significantly affect the final fragrance, so sourcing high-quality Bulgarian Rose is key to achieving the desired olfactory profile.
