Rose Otto has always been expensive because of the difficulty extracting this luxurious oil from the delicate petals. About 40 tons of rose petals are needed to extract just 300g essential oil. Regardless of its price, the potency and incredible fragrance of even tiny amounts make it a sound investment. Our Rose Otto distiller tells us approximately 25 pounds, or about 10,000 fresh roses, are needed to produce 5mL of premium quality Rose Otto essential oil. Just one drop of Rose Otto essential oil is equal to the scent produced by 6 dozen roses!
One of the primary constituents of pure Rose Otto essential oil is Citronellol. Citronellol is responsible for the unique aroma we associate with roses.
