Turkish rose otto absolute

Turkish rose absolute is a highly concentrated aromatic extract from Rosa damascena petals grown in Turkey's Isparta region. Solvent extraction yields a rich, honeyed oil prized in fine perfumery for its complex floral character.

Rose otto is steam-distilled and yields a more delicate, waxy profile. Rose absolute from solvent extraction captures more of the raw petal's breadth, producing a deeper, more resinous fragrance with pronounced honey notes.

Isparta's high altitude, warm summers, and well-drained soils create ideal growing conditions for Rosa damascena. The region's microclimate produces petals with elevated levels of aromatic compounds, contributing to a distinctly rich essential oil profile.

It harmonizes naturally with warm oriental ingredients like oud and amber, fresh citruses, and deeper florals such as jasmine and geranium. Perfumers often use it as a signature heart note in romantic and complex compositions.

Yes. Rosa damascena is a perennial shrub that blooms for several weeks each year. Harvesting occurs annually, and the plants continue producing for decades with proper cultivation.

The blend of citronellol, geraniol, nerol, and phenylethyl alcohol creates its signature honeyed, spicy, and deeply floral signature. Turkish specimens often express slightly more spice than Bulgarian counterparts.

Store it in a cool, dark environment in tightly sealed glass containers. Refrigeration extends shelf life. Exposure to heat and light degrades the delicate aromatic compounds over time.

Absolutely. Professional perfumers routinely combine it with synthetics like rose oxide or damascones to amplify certain facets or create entirely new olfactory experiences while maintaining natural authenticity.
