Perfectly pleasant Persian Rose Otto Essential Oil invites noses to stop and smell the roses. This rose thrives under desert skies where its blousy, bright, blushing blossoms scent the breeze for just one day. The cultivation and distillation of roses was developed in Persia in the late 7th century, and through the ages they have refined the multi-petalled rose to emit a slightly sweeter and softer aroma than the beloved Bulgarian Rose Otto.
Persian Rose Otto is a ravishing addition to our classic collection of Rose oils.

Harvesters singing traditional Persian songs brave the thorny bushes to gather baskets full of these regal roses. The baskets are carried to the river to be blessed, and then the roses are steam distilled in copper pots to release both the essential oil and the wonderful, watery distillate called rose water.
Persian rose water crowns traditional Persian dishes and ceremonies, and the perfectly precious Rose Essential Oil is treasured in fragrant baths, skin softening body oils, elegant perfumes, and in aromatherapy to make the heart happy.
Our Persian Rose Otto Essential Oil is an ‘otto’ oil, which refers to its steam distillation process. Otto is the only type of rose essence one wants to use in skincare as its pure plant poetry has an affinity for the skin, to soften, revive, and make dull skin spring to life.
