Out of over 200 species of the
rose bush and approximately 10,000 more hybrid species of rose, only about six
species are used to produce rose oil and rose absolute, with the vast majority
being produced from Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia. Other species of rose used to produce rose
otto and rose absolute in limited quantities are Rosa rugosa, Rosa alba, Rosa
bourbonia and Rosa moschata. These particular rose species exhibit the
traditional fragrance commonly associated with the rose plant, while other
varieties may exude aromas of fruits, musks, or other flowers (Guenther, E.
(1952) The Essential Oils. London: Macmillan). The rose’s familiar fragrance is
due to a simple water-soluble alcohol, beta-phenylethanol, and three
monoterpenic oil-soluble alcohols, geraniol, nerol, and citronellol. The
acetate esters of these alcohols are also rose-scented but of a slightly
different fragrance. The clove-scented eugenol and methyl eugenol contribute to
the spiciness of the rose’s fragrance. The different concentrations of these
chemicals determine the final fragrance, which varies for each species of rose
Rosa centifolia Also known as the cabbage rose or the Rose de Mai, Rosa centifolia possesses a rich, sweet, rosy and tenacious fragrance and is mainly grown in Egypt and Morocco, as well as in the Grasse region of France and in China. This species of rose is frequently used to produce Rose de Mai absolute and is thought to possess a greener, spicier fragrance than the Rosa damascena. The essential oil of Rosa centifolia was is more challenging to distill than the oil of Rosa damascena, most likely because of the increased delicacy of this species’ many-petaled blooms and it is rarely produced.

Rose oil is obtained from the petals
of difference Rosa species especially Rosa centifolia L.
and Rosa damascena Mill. Various pharmacological properties have
been attributed to rose oil. Next to rose oil, rose absolute, rose water and
rose concrete are important basic materials in cosmetic industries. For the
production of 1 kg of rose oil 3500–4000 kilograms of rose flowers are
necessary. Due to its expensive industrial production and also to high
importance in the cosmetic industry, rose oil is often called “liquid gold”.
The most common chemical compounds present in essential rose oil obtained
from R. damascene are citronellol, geraniol, nerol, farnesol and
androse oxide, which is a fragrance attributed to rose.
Rose Absolute oil is beneficial
for all skin types but is especially valuable for sensitive, dry, inflamed or
ageing skin. It has a stimulating, toning, balancing and rejuvenating effect on
the complexion. It helps to soothe, moisture and reduce redness and
inflammation, and may even help to reduce the appearance of broken or enlarged
capillaries, known as thread veins. Rose oil is a powerful antidepressant and
is useful for dealing with mental and emotional issues such as stress, anxiety,
grief and loss. It is particularly valuable where the issues relate to the
female reproductive system e.g. for mood swings and irritability related to
PMS, PMT, menopause, and for post-natal depression. Rose is unique in its
action on the female reproductive system and sexuality. It can help with
irregular or heavy periods, soothe cramps, and may even aid conception by
regulating the menstrual cycle. As a powerful aphrodisiac it can also assist
with female frigidity and male impotence.
Rose is a very popular fragrance
in many cosmetics and creams, as well as perfumes, toilet preparations,
lozenges, and toothpaste.
Rose essential oil, as well as
the other various types of rose extracts, has been widely used in perfumery
since ancient times. Because of this long, rich history, accounts vary about
where exactly rose oil was first used as a fragrance, but it is widely believed
that the first rose oil perfumes originated in Persia (present-day Iran).
Today the fragrance of the rose
is still one of the most desired aromas in the perfume industry. Rose oil is a fundamental ingredient in
virtually all fine perfumes made by most famous perfumers, including Christian
Dior, Givenchy, Lancôme, Bulgari, and Chanel (Omda, source). Because Rosa
damascena is renowned for its fine fragrance, this species is the most widely
used rose in perfumery.
