100% Pure Rose Bulgarian Absolute Oil Wondering about the difference between an Essential Oil and an Absolute Oil? Essential oils are mostly produced through a steam distillation process, but some flowers are too delicate for steam distillation and are therefore extracted in a complex method using solvents, resulting in a highly concentrated aromatic oil called an Absolute Oil. Rose Absolute Oil sourced from the Valley of Roses in central Bulgaria. It is one of the world's best known flowers and well known for its stunning and exotic aroma and being an exotic aphrodisiac. It is very common oil in the aromatherapy and perfume industry and used in skin care products for its emollients and restore properties.
