ROSE OIL: THE SUBLIME + SCIENTIFIC HEART HALO
View or Download Certificate of Analysis
Resplendent Rose Otto oil (Rosa damascena) is the queen of fragrant florals and is one of the first aromatic oils to be distilled in antiquity, prized for its purity by the Persians, Romans, Egyptians, and Greeks long before modernity. The scent of Rose was regaled as “the fragrant wake from the flutter of angels’ wings.” A healing skin substance and the heart-harmonizing bloom of perfume, Rose oil encourages heart-expansion, elevates the spirit, and clarifies confidence, fulfilling its sacred role as the highest vibrational essence.
Avicenna, the 10th–11th century perfumist-polymath-physician, perfected the distillation of Rose petals. He made Rose-infused pharmakon preparations for "supporting the heart and lifting the spirit," using the oil to cool inflammation and ease melancholy. Historically, this neuro-regenerative action was felt in the emotional body: the 17th-century physician Nikolas Culpeper wrote that Rose Otto "helps strengthen the heart—physically and emotionally." The oil’s copious concentration of fragrant floral alcohols acts as a potent tonic for the circulatory system, easing emotional heartache and fulfilling its sacred role as the sublime essential oil for the heart chakra.
ROSE OTTO: THE NEUROSCIENCE OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
The essence of Rose Otto is a potent, positive neurotonic that acts directly on the brain and the heart. The oil’s high concentration of fragrant floral alcohols (citronellol and geraniol) is key to its therapeutic potency. This ancient wisdom is now confirmed by recent research that showed continuous inhalation over the course of one month increases gray matter volume in brain regions linked to memory and cognition (the PCC), demonstrating a unique pathway for neurogenesis and the potential to deter atrophy. This compelling finding was established using a Rose Essential Oil derived from Rosa damascena in a 2024 study (Kokubun et al.).
THE ALCHEMY OF DAILY ROSE ADORNMENT
This proven regenerative power is precisely why Rose Otto is one of our most cherished active botanicals for formulations. Rose is a full-spectrum active that works both internally (as a neurotonic) and externally (as a dermal fortifier).
For the Complexion: Rose Otto is essential in serious skin rejuvenators—from Rose Glow Serum and Royal Rose Serum to Rose Best Skin Ever. It acts as a vulnerary, a superb tonic for the circulatory system, easing the appearance of scars and blemishes, while soothing the skin and brightening the complexion.
For the Scent + Psyche: The same oil that encourages neurogenesis in the brain is used to ground the spirit in daily ablutions. You can instantly access this science by applying a dab to your pulse points, a drop under the nose, a spritz of our iconic Roses Shining Everywhere perfume, a body mist of Bed of Roses, or a delightful dash of our time-tested classic, Rose Poetic Pits deodorant.
Through simple, daily adornment, the pure essence of Rose fulfills its sacred role as the highest vibrational essence, marrying cellular science with molecular love.
THE HIGHEST VIBRATIONAL ESSENCE: ROSE AS BIOENERGETIC TONIC
Reverence for Rose Otto as one of the highest vibrational essences in the plant kingdom is rooted in the science of bioenergetics. Research into the electrical frequencies of living matter posits that healthy human bodies vibrate between 62–78 MHz, yet Rose essential oil resonates at an astounding 320 MHz. The therapeutic effect is explained by the principle of entrainment: the oil's stronger, harmonious frequency influences weaker cellular rates, acting as a healing vortex that helps cells resonate at a higher rate. This aligns with the recognized power of Rose molecules to expand the auric field and positively sway the neurochemicals of the limbic system.
