Antique Rose Essential Oil Blend

Our Antique Rose Botanical Blend is created to deliver the complex, multi-layered aromatic profile of traditional heritage roses. This blend serves as a highly effective, cost-efficient substitute for pure Rose Absolute, providing a robust floral heart note for perfumery and cosmetic compounding without compromising on quality or authenticity.

Composition and Aromatic Profile This formulation leverages 100% natural, plant-derived components to achieve a precise olfactory match:

• Rose Damascena Natural Isolates: Extracted from premium Rosa damascena plant matter, these natural isolates supply the core volatile organic compounds required for a grounded, enduring rose aroma.

• Geranium Rose Essential Oil: The strategic inclusion of Geranium Rose essential oil introduces naturally occurring geraniol and citronellol. This grounds the blend, adding the fresh, slightly green diffusion characteristic of a blooming botanical while stabilising the overall scent profile.

Free from synthetic fragrances and chemical additives, this blend is designed for functional integration into bespoke skincare formulations, natural perfumery, and ambient diffusion across Aotearoa.
