Product Overview
Our organic Rose CO2 Select Extract possesses a very sweet, creamy, deeply erotic yet delicately radiant, fresh floral aroma as of roses warmed by the sun, with soft spice, herbaceous and ripe berry undertones. Its lightness and airy-ness of scent is balanced with its days-long, sultry drydown and constitutes the very essence of aromatic seduction. When compared to the scent of Rose Ottos or Rose Absolutes, the aroma of this material is said to be the most true to the scent of live roses – and our noses emphatically agree.
The total number of constituents in a hydrodistilled Rose oil (Otto) is about three times that of a CO2 extract, with the ratios being significantly different. The main distinction is seen in the phenylethyl alcohol (aka 2-phenylethanol) content; up to 50 percent is found in the CO2 extract compared with less than 5 percent in the essential oil.[1]
In addition to its varied applications in aromatherapy, this truly special Rose CO2 is perfect in premium skincare formulations and in fine perfumery compositions. Known as the oil of love, the aroma of Rose oil is said to encourage the metaphorical “opening of the heart.” It is especially esteemed for promoting spiritual wellbeing, creating a peaceful ambiance, and as an excellent companion to meditation practices.
