Does anyone know which is the best smelling rose oil. I have smelled rose otto but it does not smell of roses.
April 28th, 2010 | by admin |I don’t like geranium. Is palmarosa more like roses. Does anyone know of an essential oil that smells like Roses.
The oil is extracted by steam distillation and by chemical extraction. The concretes and absolutes are considered to be of higher quality because the oil was not subjected to the higher temperatures of steam distillation. I have found that the concretes and absolutes sometimes need to be aired out to allow that chemical smell that sometimes lingers to dissipate. The steam distilled oils sometimes have a caramel-like quality that can be interesting.

There are many varieties of Rose with subtle differences in smell. Rose essential oil should be pure, not cut or adulterated in any way.
