Expert Insight
“If its replenishing and ritual uses throughout history are any indication, the amazing wealth of its diverse compounds never fail to interface with the psychosomatic network of man and woman... Quality: Only the true Rosa Damascena from Bulgaria is convincingly sublime in every single year.”
~ Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
“I ask the rose, where did you get such skin? She laughs. How could she answer? She is drunk, but not enough to say secrets. Wander with drunks if you want to know what they have been hiding.”
~ Rumi
“This is one of the oldest (and most expensive) of the essential oils; roughly 4,400 pounds of rose blossoms are needed to produce a single pound of essential oil… widely used in perfumery and cosmetics both to improve fragrance and soothe skin and mind.”
~ Robert S. McDaniel & Katherine J. McDaniel, Soap Maker's Workshop
