Rose (India)

Rose from India is known for its deep, rich, and luxurious floral aroma, often carrying subtle spicy and warm undertones. This variety of rose has a velvety and opulent scent profile that adds depth and elegance to perfumes, making it a popular choice as a heart note. Indian rose imparts a sense of warmth and sensuality, blending beautifully with spices, woods, and other florals to create complex and captivating compositions that evoke romance and sophistication.

History & Production: Indian rose, particularly from the Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia species, has a long history of use in perfumery and traditional practices. The petals are harvested in the early morning to capture their peak fragrance and are processed through steam distillation or solvent extraction to produce rose oil or absolute. The rose-growing regions of India, such as Kannauj, are renowned for their high-quality production. Indian rose oil is treasured for its intense, full-bodied aroma and its contribution to both classic and modern perfumery, symbolizing love and beauty.
