Overview: Rose Otto, also known as Bulgarian Rose essential oil, is an exquisite and luxurious oil derived from the petals of the Rosa damascena plant, cultivated in Bulgaria’s Kazanak region. Its exceptional fragrance and various therapeutic benefits make it one of the most highly sought-after essential oils. The distinction between Rose Absolute and Rose Otto lies in their extraction methods. Rose Absolute is obtained through solvent extraction, while Rose Otto is produced using the traditional steam distillation process. As a result, Rose Otto is often praised for its delicate and refined aroma, whereas Rose Absolute possesses a stronger and more intense fragrance. The Kazanlak Valley, situated in central Bulgaria, boasts a unique climate and soil conditions that are exceptionally favourable for cultivating the Damask rose. The combination of mild temperatures, high humidity, and specific soil composition contributes to the rose’s remarkable aroma and therapeutic properties. The production of Rose Otto essential oil is a labour-intensive and intricate process. Skilled harvesters meticulously handpick the rose blossoms during the peak flowering season, usually in late spring or early summer when the oil concentration is at its highest. This careful harvesting ensures the finest quality of the oil. Subsequently, the rose petals undergo steam distillation to extract the precious oil. Due to the intricate and demanding production process and the limited growing area, Bulgarian Rose
Otto essential oil can be relatively expensive. Nevertheless, its unmatched fragrance and therapeutic qualities make it a treasured and coveted essential oil worldwide. Approximately 10,000 rose petals are required to produce just 1 gram of Rose Otto essential oil, or an astounding 1,000 kilograms of flowers are needed to yield 1 kilogram of oil. It is essential to be cautious of potential adulteration with isolates of geranium in Rose Otto essential oil. To ensure authenticity and purity, it is advisable to obtain Rose Otto essential oil from a reliable source.
