Rose Otto Essential Oil
Latin name Rosa damascena - Family species Rosaceae
Rose Otto is also known as Damask Rose, Summer Damask Rose, Bulgarian Rose, and Turkish Rose. The oil is also sometimes referred to as Otto of Rose, Anatolian Rose Oil, and Attar of Roses. Its uses are reportedly much the same as Rose Maroc Essential Oil with a scent that is less spicy.
Rose oil is expensive, but many find it to be very useful and delightful. It is often used in skin care applications and as a fragrance in many perfumes and other products.
