Damask Rose.
Deep, jammy rose with a honeyed sweetness.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Damask rose is the richest of the rose materials: deep, jammy and honeyed, with a spiced warmth and much less green freshness than a garden rose. It is the rose behind most classic fragrances built on the flower.
It carries a heart on its own and pairs famously with oud, patchouli and clove. It is assertive and it does not share space easily with other big florals.
The damask rose is the perfume rose, farmed for centuries across Bulgaria and Turkey and picked by hand in the cool hours before dawn. Steam distillation yields rose otto, solvent extraction yields the absolute, and the two smell like different moods of the same flower: one bright, one deep.
