Solubility & Blending Suggestions

  • Dilute and add drop by drop to your blends until the desired effect is achieved. Please note: a little goes a long way.
  • This oil will congeal and form (as do all true hydrodistilled Rose oils) translucent or colorless crystals of one of its components - stearopten - at temperatures below 72 degrees Fahrenheit; the oil will solidify into a thin paste-like mass at even cooler temperatures. This does not alter the quality of the oil, but rather verifies that it is a true Rose Otto. By gently rolling the bottle between your hands, the oil will soon warm and return to a completely liquid state.
  • This oil is soluble in fixed (vegetal) oils; it is partially soluble in alcohol and filtering may be necessary to remove insoluble material, particularly in dilutions over 5%.
  • In perfumery, Rose Ottos are more potent than Rose Absolutes, so you can use a smaller amount to achieve the same level of odor intensity. According to Steffen Arctander, even trace amounts (fractions of one percent) of Rose Otto in many types of perfumes can do wonders. In fact, we suggest that care must be taken not to use too much, as it can overpower a formula. Happily, Rose Otto combines well with many other essential oils and is useful for 'rounding off' and adding 'lift' to blends. “Even traces, fractions of one percent of this oil in many types of perfume bases, can do wonders when correctly used.”*

    Safety Considerations

    • No known safety concerns, but a dermal maximum use level of 0.6% is recommended due to the presence of methyleugenol.* 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. These percentages are lot-specific and can be found on the COA link below.
    • Dilute before using. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.
    • Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and light.

    Product Overview

    Our Turkish Rose Otto’s aroma has clear, radiant, floral/fruity top notes over a deep, honey-sweet, wild Rose-type aroma with dense green and subtle peppery nuances. This remarkable essential oil can be incorporated into many skincare and perfumery formulas for a wide range of uses, with profound harmonizing properties for the body, mind and soul. Turkish Rose Otto is a cultural legend of great historic significance – one truly worth exploring.

    This very special offering of Turkish Rose Otto is produced by a family that has been distilling roses since the early 1950s in Isparta, southwest Anatolia – the rose capital of Turkey – in stills they designed and built themselves. The rose bushes, which can remain productive for 20-30 years, are harvested by hand from mid-May through mid-June, and although tedious, it is hard to imagine work more heavenly than picking roses! The chemical composition of Turkish Rose Otto is distinguishable from that of Bulgarian Rose Otto due to higher percentages of the two main components – citronellol and geraniol – resulting in a bit more sweetness and strength in the aroma.

    With their multi-petaled intricacy, it is no surprise that Rose essential oils and absolutes are among the plant essences with the most chemical complexity. And while many of the more than 400 chemical constituents[1] 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 4500 kilos (about 9900 pounds) of fresh Rose petals to make 1 kilo of Rose Otto.[2]

    In addition to its varied applications in aromatherapy, our organic Turkish Rose Otto is perfect in premium skincare formulations and in fine perfumery compositions. Known as the oil of love, the comforting and inspiring aroma of Rose oil is said to encourage the metaphorical “opening of the heart.” It is especially esteemed for promoting spiritual wellbeing, creating a peaceful ambiance, and as an excellent companion to meditation practices.
