About rose absolute
Rose Absolute is a quintessential floral note in perfumery, prized for its intense, multifaceted aroma that captures the lush depth and romantic essence of roses. Extracted from the petals of Rosa damascena or Rosa centifolia, it offers a more concentrated and nuanced scent profile compared to other rose materials. This absolute is celebrated for its rich, sweet-floral character, with hints of honey and green nuances, making it a luxurious addition to any fragrance composition. Its complexity allows it to play various roles, from being the heart of a floral bouquet to adding depth and warmth as a base note. Rose Absolute's ability to convey both opulence and delicacy has cemented its status as a cornerstone in the creation of perfumes, especially in oriental, floral, and chypre families.

Perfumer's Tips
Due to its potent and rich nature, Rose Absolute should be used sparingly within compositions to prevent it from overpowering other notes. It works exceptionally well as a heart note, providing a floral core that can be accented with lighter top notes or grounded with deeper base notes. Adjusting the concentration can significantly alter the fragrance's character, making it versatile for both subtle and bold creations.
