Rose

Bulgarian Rose Absolute

Original designation: Rose Bulgare Absolu Calchauvet

Rosa × damascena Mill.

Damask rose absolute is not a simple flower but a complete perfume in miniature—petal, honey, fruit, spice and a faint green tremor. In a vintage palette it reads like perfumery handwriting: sumptuous, human and impossible to flatten into one note.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build grand floral hearts, enrich rose-oud contrasts and introduce chypre bouquets. As heart note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • rose-oud contrasts
  • chypre bouquets
  • fruit-rose signatures
  • amber florals

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
