Rosa Damascena

Rosa Damascena

Floral/Fresh/Delicate

Damascena stands for Damascus, the Syrian city where she was born. The Persian Empire, to which Syria belonged, specialised in its cultivation and was even dubbed “the rose empire”. Whether you choose the essential oil with its fruity, lychee-like character or prefer the absolute, a more honeyed, opulent version, this flower is so versatile that it can tell all the stories in the world.
