The Bulgarian Damask Rose, hailed as the “supreme treasure of the global fragrance and skincare industry,” is a rare jewel that merges the wonders of nature with human ingenuity. Renowned for its captivating aroma, unparalleled skincare benefits, and extreme rarity, it has given rise to the prestigious Rose Otto Essential Oil, known as “liquid gold.” Among these, the premium-grade Rose Otto Essential Oil is further exalted as “liquid platinum,” a symbol of luxury and ultimate perfection. Nature and Craftsmanship Behind the Legend The Bulgarian Damask Rose embodies the harmony of nature and human artistry.
At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight bathe the Valley of Roses in Bulgaria, dew gently caresses the petals of the Damask Rose, and the entire valley is filled with its intoxicating fragrance. Nestled in Kazanlak, this region is the birthplace of the world’s finest Damask Roses. Its unparalleled natural environment ensures the roses’ extraordinary quality: • Mild Climate: Nestled between the Balkan and Sredna Gora mountain ranges, the unique topography creates a perfect balance in day-night temperature variations, enhancing the roses’ rich and complex fragrance. • Fertile Soil: Mineral-rich soil provides essential nutrients, nurturing each petal with purity and vibrancy. • Morning Dew and Sunlight: Damask Rose petals absorb the nourishing dew at dawn, releasing their enchanting aroma under the sunlight. This makes the valley a haven for producing the highest quality roses.
The production of Rose Otto Essential Oil is a testament to artisanal skill and traditional techniques: • Hand Harvesting: Between May and June, farmers harvest rose blossoms by hand at sunrise. Through daily observations, only roses nearing optimal maturity in the coming days are selected, ensuring the preservation of their aroma and essence. • Traditional Distillation: Using centuries-old steam distillation methods, the rose essence is extracted slowly at low temperatures to retain its natural purity. • Oil Separation: Through precise and time-intensive traditional methods, each drop of essential oil is separated with exceptional care, ensuring its high concentration and impeccable quality.
The rarity of Rose Otto Essential Oil stems from the extraordinary quantity of raw materials required for its production: • Damask Rose Oil: It takes approximately 1,500–3,000 rose blossoms to produce just 1 milliliter. • Otto Rose Oil: This requires 3,000–6,000 roses per milliliter. • Premium Otto Oil: An astonishing 6,000–12,000 rose blossoms are needed to produce a single milliliter. The global production of rose oil totals approximately 30,000 milliliters annually, of which Rose Otto accounts for only 2,000–5,000 milliliters. Premium Rose Otto production is limited to just 200–500 milliliters, while Royal Grade Rose Otto is an unmatched rarity, with a mere 20–50 milliliters produced annually—earning its title as a “luxury beyond replication.”
