Rose oil (rose otto, attar of rose, attar of roses or rose essence) is the essential oil extracted from the petals of various types of rose. Rose ottos are extracted through steam distillation, while rose absolutes are obtained through solvent extraction, the absolutebeing used more commonly in perfumery. Even with their high price and the advent of organic synthesis, rose oils are still perhaps the most widely used essential oil in perfumery.
Rose essential oil is a type of essential oil commonly used in aromatherapy. Sourced from the Rosa damascena plant, it contains the flower’s aromatic compounds. Because these compounds are thought to possess healing properties, rose essential oil is used for a number of health-related purposes.
Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that inhaling essential oil or absorbing it through the skin transmits signals to the limbic system (a region of the brain responsible for emotions and memories). Studies have suggested that doing so can induce physiological effects, including a reduction in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration as well as an increase in “feel-good” hormones like serotonin and dopamine.
