Product Description

Persian Rose Otto Essential Oil is one of the most beautiful and sought-after floral oils in the world. Extracted from the fresh petals of Rosa damascena, it has a soft floral scent with hints of honey, citrus, and a subtle vanilla note.

Renowned for its delicate fragrance and exceptional purity, Persian Rose Otto is a prized ingredient in natural skincare, fine perfumery, and holistic aromatherapy. Milder and more refined in aroma than its Bulgarian counterpart, this essential oil offers a subtly complex floral character that sets it apart.

The production of Persian Rose Otto involves time-honoured methods that preserve the plant’s full aromatic spectrum. Using hydro-distillation techniques passed down through generations, the process captures not only the volatile oils but also the water-soluble compounds, resulting in a richly layered scent and feel.

Harvesting begins in the cool early hours of the morning, when rose blossoms are at their most fragrant. Each petal is handpicked with care to ensure the integrity of the essential oil, producing a final product with exceptional clarity and softness. The resulting oil is gentle and nourishing, ideal for mature or sensitive skin formulations.

Persian Rose Otto is appreciated not only for its natural elegance but also for its safety in clean beauty applications. With a naturally low content of methyl eugenol, it’s a thoughtful choice for formulators seeking to create safe, non-sensitising skincare or aromatherapy blends.

Unlike synthetic rose fragrances, which can feel overpowering or one-dimensional, this natural oil evolves beautifully on the skin and in the air. Its aroma is soft yet persistent, blooming over time to reveal layers of depth and floral nuance. It’s an expression of nature and tradition—an artisanal product that reflects the soul of Persian rose farming and distillation.

FAQ's

FAQs

Is this oil safe for sensitive skin? Yes. When properly diluted, Persian Rose Otto is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin. Always patch test first.

What is the difference between Rose Otto and Rose Absolute? Rose Otto is steam or hydro-distilled, whereas Rose Absolute is solvent-extracted. Rose Otto is purer and better for skincare applications.

Why is Persian Rose Otto more expensive than other rose oils? Thousands of petals are required to produce 1ml of oil, and the steam-distilled process is labour-intensive.

Can I use this in perfume-making? Yes. Its soft, honeyed floral notes make it perfect as a heart note in natural luxury perfumes.

Is Persian Rose Otto vegan and cruelty-free? Yes. Our Persian Rose Otto is 100% plant-derived, with no animal testing or animal-derived additives.

Is the scent strong or overpowering? No. Persian Rose Otto is known for its subtle, layered scent. It has a soft floral aroma with less sharpness than other rose oils.

What does ‘low methyl eugenol content’ mean? Methyl eugenol is a natural compound that can cause skin sensitivity in high concentrations. Our Persian Rose Otto is distilled to have low ME content, so it’s safer for cosmetic use.

Can I apply it directly to the skin? No. Like all essential oils, it must be diluted in a carrier oil before use on the skin.

When is the Persian rose harvest season? The main harvest is in June when the fields are busiest.
