Natural Qualities: The fragrance of rose has long
inspired poets and lovers. One legend says the red rose came
from the blood of the Greek love goddess Aphrodite. The name of
Aphrodite’s son Eros, god of love, is an anagram for rose.
Folktales that come from China to Europe tell similar stories
about the rose’s symbolism as the unfolding of both spiritual
and physical love and perfection.
Probably the most famous water of
all with literally dozens of uses – a real all rounder and a
must for home, travelling or anywhere. Beautiful aroma – a rose
garden in a spray bottle! Balances the entire endocrine system.
Great for normal, dry or mature skin. Rose exhibits the highest
vibration of all the oils so spray any time, anywhere for
mental, emotional and physical upliftment and cleansing – it
invokes love, a real heart scent. Try diluted in water as a nice
drink or spray on glass wear and even in your wine! Once again a
great alternative because the pure oil is so expensive. Rejuvenating, relaxing and balancing. The beautiful
fragrance of this oil is uplifting and balancing to the emotions
making it an especially effective oil to use during the feminine
cycle. Rose oils have a very wide range of uses for both the
mind and body.

Rose perfume is said to ease tension and stress and to give
people happy, positive feelings. The fragrance of the rose is
the most popular and unmistakable fragrance in the world. Known
for its calming and uplifting effects
This essence helps one to develop a loving character and
integrity in thought and action. As one aspires for deeper
spiritual connection, this rose assists in the process, also
helping to cleanse the sacral and heart energy centers
An essence for those who have lost touch with the sweetness of
life. They search high and low for the outer "fix", with life
still seeming flat and uninspired. All the while it is the inner
spirit which holds the seed of loving potential and inspiration.
This rose is famously known for its sweet fragrance and is used
to make perfumes.
Originally from Asia Minor, the plant was brought by Turkish
merchants to Bulgaria, where the most valued essential oil is
now produced. It is gentle and nontoxic but costly, because so
little can be made during distillation and because the bushes
need so much care.
The oil is distilled or solvent-extracted from blossoms; but, as
it is difficult to separate from water, the oil must be
distilled at least twice, resulting in two products. The first
is called attar of roses; the by-product is called rose water.
The unadulterated oil congeals when it cools, but can be
liquefied again by the warmth of the hand. It has been an
age-old favorite essential oil in facial creams because, in
addition to its incredible fragrance, it is reputed to fend off
aging. It is also used in aromatherapy preparations and costly
perfumes.
Scent of rose: Wonderfully intense, the fragrance is sweet and
floral.
