Rose Essential Oil (Rose Otto, Attar of Rose, Attar of Roses or Rose Essence) is the Essential Oil extracted from the petals of the many different types of Rose.
Rose Ottos are extracted through steam distillation, while Rose Absolutes are obtained through solvent extraction, the absolute being used more commonly in perfumery. Even with their high price, Rose Oils are still perhaps the most widely used essential oil in perfumery.
There are two most commonly used types of Rose cultivated for the production of Rose Essential Oil:
Rosa Damascena, or the Damask Rose (widely grown in Syria, Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, Iran and China), and Rosa Centifolia, the Cabbage Rose, which is more commonly grown in Morocco, France and Egypt.
Damask Roses are commonly used as they are some of the most fragrant Roses and are believed to be the original red roses with strongest aroma and highest oil content. The oil obtained from these Roses is composed of hundreds of components, out of which the major contributors are Citronellol, Citral, Carvone, Citronellyl Acetate, Eugenol, Ethanol, Farnesol, Stearpoten, Methyl Eugenol, Nerol, Nonanol, Nonanal, Phenyl Acetaldehyde, Phenylmenthyl Acetate and Phenyl Geraniol.
It takes an incredibly large amount of rose petals to distill just a small amount of essential oil. Depending on extraction method and plant species, the typical yield can be around 1:3,000.
To bring production cost down and profits up, some dishonest dealers will dilute Rose Oil with Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) or Palmarosa (Cymbopogon Martinii) Essential Oils, which are rich in geraniol, the main constituent of Rose Oil. Some of these so called "Rose Oils" are up to 90% Geranium or Palmarosa to just 10% Rose.
Pure Rose Essential Oil should not be used directly on the skin, like most essential oils, as it can cause allergic reactions such as red skin and spots.
Always consult a medical practitioner or qualified aromatherapist when considering using Essential Oils topically, and always dilute with a carrier oil.
