Rose Absolute Information 

Rose absolute oil is made during a delicate process. Similar in a way to ‘effleurage’ (the pressing of petals in fat to produce an extract), the flower essence is extracted, with a wax-like ‘concrete’ being produced. Through a second extraction of the concrete, rose absolute oil is yielded. This method is more efficient than steam distillation, producing nearly 7 pounds of oil per 10,000 pounds of roses (distillation yields 1 pound oil per 10,000 pounds of roses), with a corresponding lower cost than a steam distilled variety – some find the absolute has a more ‘complete’ aroma, with more depth true to the Rose flower.

Please note absolute fragrances are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be assessed in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance.

For those trying Absolutes for the first time, it is strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - becomes lost.
