Overview

Bulgarian Rose Absolute 10%

Our Rose Absolute, Bulgaria - 10% has a sweet, deep, mellow, antique Rose aroma with a faint indole, spice and honeyed undertone and a fresh green note that comes forth in the drydown. Bulgarian Rose absolutes, with their wonderfully hypnotic fragrance, are among the most sought after for use in perfumery. In Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin, Arctander notes that “Bulgarian Rose Absolute is used so extensively in high-class perfumes that it is hardly possible to define its field of application.”1

Used throughout history for their exquisite, comforting and inspiring scent and visual beauty, Roses of every color and size are esteemed for being metaphorical “heart openers.” With their multi-petaled intricacy, it is no surprise that Rose essential oils and absolutes are among those that have the most chemical complexity. And while many of the more than 400 chemical constituents2 of Rosa damascena are present in mere trace amounts, they contribute immensely to the sublime and nuanced fragrance we know as Rose. It takes about 650 kilos of fresh Rose petals to make 1 kilo of Bulgarian Rose Absolute.3

This Bulgarian Rose Absolute has been pre-diluted to 10% in o90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – Organic - it is premixed to make it affordable and easy to use as is. Feel free to use it in your natural perfume blends, especially in combination with Jasmine, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our  Rose Absolute, Bulgaria. Also try blending Rose Absolute with our Amber Essence Oil to make your own unique Amber Rose oil.

PLEASE NOTE: Bulgarian Rose Absolute is intended for use in perfumery only. If you are interested in using Rose oil for aromatherapy and skincare applications, please see our beautiful steam distilled Rose Ottos, our Rose CO2 Organic, and our superb Rose de Mai Organic Extract.

Blending Suggestions: This product can be safely applied as a natural perfume as is. It is already diluted for easy use and contains 10% Rose Absolute in 90% organic Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Blends Well With: Agarwood, Amber Oil - Fossilized, Amyris, Balsam of Peru, Bergamot and most Citrus oils, Beeswax, Black Pepper, Boronia, Carnation, Cassie, Cedarwood, Chamomile (Roman), Cinnamon and most spice oils, Clary Sage, Cocoa, Coffee, Coriander, Frankincense, Galbanum, Geranium, Helichrysum, Jasmine, Laurel Leaf, Lavender, Lemon, Linden Blossom, Liquidambar (Styrax), Litsea Cubeba, Melissa, Mimosa, Myrrh, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Orris, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Petitgrain, Sandalwood, Spikenard, Tansy (Blue), Tuberose, Vanilla, Vetiver, Violet Leaf, Ylang Ylang. “[Rose absolute’s] diffusive power is only realized when the absolute is diluted or used at the concentration of a few percent or even less in a perfume base.”4


Safety Considerations: None known, but a dermal maximum use level of 0.6% (of pure Rose Absolute) is recommended by Tisserand due to the presence of methyleugenol.5 The 0.6% dermal maximum is based on a 3.3% methyleugenol content, however, the actual methyleugenol percentages for each of our Rose offerings are typically lower. Dilute product further per Blending Suggestions above if using in a leave-on product to be applied over large portions of the body. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.

This rose essential oil is intoxicating. It brings about balance and harmony. It is calming, and lifts the spirit. Rose is known for being an aphrodisiac and can invoke romance and enhance intimacy.

This is a lovely rose and I'm so glad EB offers a dilution. I like to wear rose as a single note and this dilution makes it easy and very affordable. I like the Bulgarian absolute much more than the Turkish so I'm happy it's offered here. And the scent . . . it's Rose! What else needs to be said.
