Rose oil is a natural product obtained by hydro distillation from fresh flowers of the oil-bearing rose – Rosa Damascena P. Mill cultivated in Rose Valley in Bulgaria, where this rose has found the most suitable conditions for its growth.
One kilogram rose oil is usually obtained from 3 to 3.5 tons of rose blossom. In the composition of Bulgarian rose oil there are some 283 components. They are divided into two groups: carriers and fixatives of scent. The carriers of scent are the liquid parts of the oil – eleoptens.
The fixatives of scent are solid at ambient temperature and odorless, but fix the scent and give it durability – stearoptens. Some of the many components of eleoptens of the rose oil scent are citronellol, geraniol, nerol, phenyl ethyl alcohol, but the typical rose aroma is formed by the presence of microelements.
Bulgarian rose oil is perceived as a global benchmark for quality. It is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics and medicine.

Rosa Damascena a bit of history!
The first roses were brought to Thrace by the returning soldiers of Alexander of Macedon's garrisons. Belgian chronicle mentions that in 1210 crusaders saw large areas planted with roses near Edirne. It is however not clear whether it was not crusaders themselves who brought the roses to that region. More ...
The Rose Valley is a notion, generally associated with the location where the Bulgarian oil-bearing rose grows. More ...
It is generally accepted that there are more than 5000 varieties of roses, yet only a few of them exhibit that marked fragrance that is sought by perfumeries.
The Bulgarian oil-bearing rose has been cultivated in the Rose Valley for more than 300 years now. It has established itself as a stable, independent type of rose, differing in its anatomy and physiology from the oil- bearing roses cultivated elsewhere, even from the original rose of the town of Kashan in Iran.
The oil-bearing rose species developed into an independent type as a result of the peculiar climate in the Rose Valley. It preserved its unique character due to a strictly applied new technology of multiplication and cultivation. This special technology, not used anywhere else, was adhered to by all rose growers in the region. More ...
