## About
A white rose opening in the morning air, its scent so near you could be standing in the field. This is the rose for perfumers who want the flower itself, not a memory of it.Rosa alba, the white rose of Bulgaria's Valley of the Roses, is a direct descendant of the ancient Rosa gallica, one of the oldest members of the rose family, and its aroma is far more intense than that of Rosa damascena, the source of our Rose Otto. It is organically produced and CO2 extracted, a method that carries more of the aromatic compounds through than distillation, yields a scent closer to the raw botanical, and uses none of the solvents of a rose absolute. The total extract is thick and creamy.DetailsBotanical name: Rosa albaMethod: CO2 extraction, organically producedOrigin: Valley of the Roses, BulgariaStrength: undiluted; also offered as a 5% dilution in organic jojoba oilHow to useIt responds well to gentle warming and dilutes easily in slightly warmed jojoba oil; it does not dissolve well in fractionated coconut oil, and we would not put so costly an aromatic into a short-lived carrier. Like any rose oil it can be powerful even at low dilutions, so use it at normal aromatherapy dilutions. Keep it out of reach of children.A white rose with a very old lineage, for your finest blends.
