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 damascena mill L, commonly known as Damask rose, is known
as Gole Mohammadi in Iran. It is one of the most important species of Rosaceae
family. Rosaceae are well- known ornamental plants and have been referred to as
the king of flowers. At present time, over 200 rose species and more than 18000
cultivars form of the plant have been identified. Apart from the use of R. damascena as ornamental plants in parks,
gardens, and houses, they are principally cultivated for using in perfume,
medicine and food industry. However, R. damascena is
mainly known for its perfuming effects. The rose water were scattered at
weddings to ensure a happy marriage and are symbol of love and purity and are
also used to aid meditation and prayer.
The term "wild" when applied to plants or plant
species refers to those that grow spontaneously in self-maintaining populations
in natural or semi-natural ecosystems and can exist independently of direct
human action. Venkatramna Industries have selective wild varieties
of species which are being conserved to obtain oil and this is one of them.
These species are the wild species (Original of their genera), means they are
not Genetically modified (GMO), Non-Hybrid and no artificial or desired
characters were induced. Collectively we call them Wild Crafted Essential
Oils.
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
essential oil in Pharma
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.
Essence of Rose
essential oil
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.
