This absolute — an exclusive batch extraction of \u003cem\u003eRosa damascena\u003c\/em\u003e from Bulgaria's celebrated Rose Valley — captures a distinctly individual character within the wider family of Bulgarian rose materials: fiery, warm, and immediately radiant on opening, evolving into something more graceful and powdery than the classic profile, with a spiced depth reminiscent of the finest aged Gallica otto absolutes prized by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSolvent extracted and specially selected for exceptional character, this dark orange absolute rewards perfumers who already know Bulgarian rose well and want to explore how much variation genuinely exists within a single origin and species — a reminder that rose absolute, like fine wine, can differ meaningfully from batch to batch even under the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is immediately radiant — fiery, floral, and warm, carrying the classic intensity of Bulgarian rose absolute but with a fresher, more modern brightness than the traditional profile. As it evolves, a graceful, powdery rose impression emerges, softened by a gentle sweetness that adds real texture and sophistication. Beneath this floral veil runs a subtle thread of spiced warmth, giving the composition an unexpected depth. In the final drydown, a whisper of rose-infused musk surfaces — soft, nostalgic, and enduring, recalling the elegance of a beautifully aged Gallica rose otto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis absolute is a superb choice wherever a rose note needs both radiance and depth — feminine florals, classical chypres, and rose-centred orientals all benefit from its layered evolution from fiery opening to powdery, musky drydown. Its spiced undercurrent gives it particular affinity with warm, resinous compositions, while its final musky facet makes it an unusually good fixative choice for rose-forward accords that need to hold their shape over many hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with jasmine absolute, violet leaf, orris, patchouli, sandalwood, oud, labdanum, benzoin, clove, cardamom, bergamot, and soft musks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eRosa × damascena\u003c\/em\u003e Mill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulgarian Rose Absolute (Raduga batch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosa Damascena Flower Extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8007-01-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulgaria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solvent extraction (absolute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle to base note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark orange liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral \/ Rosy \/ Spicy \/ Green \/ Warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
