When we think about perfumes and fragrances our nose instantly craves something floral or flowery. And what better way to meet this craving than the smell of the queen of flowers, “The Rose”! The scent of roses reminds us of Love and Passion bringing color to our cheeks and filling up our hearts with warmth. We also largely associate roses as primarily a feminine note which is why it is the most common and popular note in any women’s fragrances. However, it is also used in many men’s fragrances nowadays. Although the note might seem different to individuals there is always a deeply romantic vibe that is ever present in a fragrance that has prominent rose notes.
Roses have been a popular choice in fragrance oils and perfumes originating in the Roman and Egyptian eras when it was considered to be the best aphrodisiac to exist.
The rose in perfumes may feel a little powdery or a little woody and even a little musky at times. This is due to the fact that different types of roses are used in different perfumes and one is not comparable to the other in terms of smell and performance but it will surely bring that romantic and passionate aura around the wearer. The most common types of rose used for perfumes are Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Damascena. Most French perfumes use Rosa Centifolia, whereas most Turkish and Bulgarian perfumes use Rosa Damascena.
The scent of Roses seems different based on the amount of sunlight or rain the rose has received upon growth. Rose extracts are categorized into two forms, the essential oil, and the Absolute. Absolutes are the most intense whereas the essential oils are less intense but are more common to the nose for detection. The best way to extract essential oils and absolute from roses is to handpick them early in the morning when the smell is at its peak and use steam. You can easily identify which roses will have the most intense fragrance based on the thickness and velvety texture of the petals and the deep color. After the separation of the essential oil, there is a residue of water left from the roses which is the aromatic Rose Water popularly used in Asian households of the Indian Subcontinent.
