Damask Rose

Rosa Damascena, or Damask Rose, is a rose hybrid known for its deep and very intense aroma. It is mentioned as early as 300 BC and is believed to originate from the Middle East. The Damask Rose does not grow in the wild anymore but is cultivated particularly in Bulgaria and Turkey.

The highly fragrant oil of the Damask Rose is the finest and most expensive rose oil and is mainly used in the perfume and beauty industry. The Damask Rose is appreciated for its warm but fresh rose scent with a hint of velvety honey.
