Rose stands as one of the most sought-after botanicals in both the beauty and fragrance realms, with Rosa Centifolia reigning supreme. Its significance in perfumery, role in aromatherapy, and effectiveness in skincare are unmatched, making it an indispensable element in the arsenal of every perfumer and formulator.
Rosa Centifolia absolute is extracted from the delicate petals of the rose flower, known by various names such as Rose de Mai, Rose Morocco, Rose Maroc, Provence Rose, Cabbage Rose, and Rose of a Hundred Petals, depending on its place of origin. This absolute of Rosa Centifolia is carefully cultivated using organic methods and extracted using hexane-free organic solvents. The extraction process takes place during the month of May in France, when the roses are at their aromatic peak.
As a result, our Rosa Centifolia, also known as Rose de Mai, emanates a beautifully rich, honeyed rose scent with subtle spicy undertones. Its fragrance is clear, deeply tender, and enveloping, providing a delightful sensory experience. In skincare formulations, Rosa Centifolia serves as a soothing and nurturing anti-inflammatory agent, while in aromatherapy, it offers uplifting and comforting qualities, aiding in the alleviation of depression and grief.
Oil
The scent of Rose de Mai absolute sets it apart from Rosa Damascena, another premium rose oil commonly used in beauty and fragrance products. Rose de Mai undergoes a unique extraction process that separates its aromatic compounds, pigments, and wax into a concrete form, which is then vacuum processed, washed, and evaporated to produce the final Rose de Mai Absolute. Unlike Rosa Damascena, which is subjected to steam distillation, Rose de Mai is processed at low temperatures, resulting in a fragrance that closely resembles the natural scent of fresh roses. It exudes a distinct, youthful honeyed rose aroma that is both potent and long-lasting.
Irrespective of the extraction method, rose oil commands a steep price due to the sheer quantity of rose petals required—approximately 60,000 petals are needed to produce a single ounce of oil. Add to that the labor-intensive harvesting process, which must be done by hand before sunrise and processed on the same day, and it becomes evident why rose oil stands as one of the most costly botanicals in the world.
Rose de Mai oil is prized for its rejuvenating and moisturizing properties, making it a popular ingredient in luxury skincare products. It helps soothe dry, irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and promote a radiant complexion.
