Rose Otto

Rose Otto reveals a complex, multi-dimensional floral profile. Fresh petal brightness opens into a rich, honeyed heart, underscored by subtle green, citrus, and faintly spicy facets. Unlike heavier rose absolutes, Rose Otto feels airy and refined, with a natural softness that evolves gently on skin.

Rose Otto functions beautifully as a heart note, capable of leading a composition or enriching it quietly from within.

Recommended concentration:

Fine fragrance: 0.1–1% (higher levels quickly dominate)

Blends harmoniously with:
Woods (sandalwood, cedarwood)
Resins (frankincense, benzoin)
Citrus notes (bergamot, lemon)
Spices (cardamom, pink pepper)

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including luxury skincare, balms, soaps, and high-end body products

A small amount imparts depth, naturalness, and unmistakable floral elegance.
