Rose Damask Absolute

Fragrance Material | Absolute

Rose Damask Absolute is a sumptuous and deeply floral extract obtained from the petals of Rosa damascena, a historic and highly prized rose variety cultivated primarily in Bulgaria, Turkey, and the Middle East. Revered for centuries in perfumery, traditional medicine, and ceremonial rituals, Rose Damask offers an intensely rich, heady, and velvety aroma with a sublime balance of fresh, green nuances and honeyed sweetness. Its luxurious scent is at once romantic, elegant, and timeless, making it a cornerstone ingredient in fine perfumery.

In perfumery, Rose Damask Absolute acts as a powerful heart note, anchoring floral compositions with warmth, depth, and complexity. It harmonizes beautifully with both classical and modern fragrances, elevating bouquets with its opulent, multi-faceted profile. Its rich floral character blends seamlessly with citrus, woods, resins, and spice notes, creating compositions that are luminous, sensual, and enduring.
