Rose (Egypt)

Rose from Egypt is cherished for its deep, rich, and intoxicating floral aroma that embodies a perfect balance of sweet and slightly spicy notes. Compared to other rose varieties, Egyptian rose has a warm, honeyed quality with subtle hints of fruit and a velvety texture that adds opulence to perfumes. This highly aromatic note is often used as a heart note, contributing depth and romantic elegance to both classic and modern compositions, blending well with citrus, spices, and woods.

History & Production: Egypt has a long history of cultivating roses, dating back to ancient times when they were used in rituals and perfumery. The fertile Nile Delta region, with its ideal climate and soil, is known for producing high-quality roses, particularly Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia. The extraction process involves steam distillation or solvent extraction to create rose oil or absolute, capturing the essence of the flower’s lush fragrance. Egyptian rose oil is highly valued for its warm, complex scent and is an essential ingredient in luxury perfumes, embodying centuries of aromatic tradition and expertise.
