Turkish Rose
Tyrkisk Rose
Tyrkisk rose eller Rosa Damascena er en fyldig roseduft hentet fra Tyrkiets rosenmarker. Høstet i sen forår og tidlig sommer plukkes rosenknopperne af tyrkisk rose omhyggeligt i hånden ved daggry, når rosen er mest duftende. Mellem blomstret, sød og frisk tilfører den tyrkiske roses aroma duften en vintage-følelse, der både virker undvigende og elegant. Duften af tyrkisk rose kysser din hud blidt, men efterlader et stærkt, varigt indtryk på dine sanser.
Uundværlig i parfumeverdenen og i alt, hvad der har med fin duft at gøre, er Rosa Damascena (også kendt som tyrkisk rose eller damaskusrose) den foretrukne duft for mange parfumører og duftelskere. Den er fyldig og dyb - en håndgribelig duft, der annoncerer sig selv i dekadente lag, der er frugtige, blomstrede og sødt honningagtige. Grønne facetter mingler med kæk litchi.
Majestætisk, krydret, grøn og honningagtig - både blomstret og frugtagtig, kan minde om litchi.

Historie
The Turkish rose (otherwise known as Rosa Damascena or Damask Rose) traces its roots back as far as Ancient Persia. In bygone eras, its heavenly scent was extracted through a simple distillation process which gave comparatively miniscule amounts of rose oil—the most coveted scent of ancient times.
Produktion
In what we imagine to be some of the most beautiful regions imaginable, roses are grown en masse throughout parts of France, Turkey, Bulgaria and Morocco (the Daddès Valley). But not all roses make it into our beloved fragrances. Rather, roses are classified into two overarching categories: ornamental roses grown for their aesthetic qualities, and then the coveted fragrant roses that pique perfumers’ interests. Among the 5,000 known botanical varieties of roses, only a mere two are used in perfumery: the Rosa Centifolia and the Rosa Damascena. Rosa Centifolia, a thorn-less flower grown in Grasse, is considered to have a more “delicate” scent, extracted using solvents to obtain an absolute. Akin to anything of interest, this divine floral note is shrouded in secrecy—with its production becoming rather secretive of late. And yet, the fragrant qualities of Centifolia are so lovely that prestige perfume houses continue to use it. On the other hand, Rosa Damascena (or Damascus rose)—produced in Turkey and Bulgaria—is the only known rose to exist as an essence. And what’s more: it’s thought to be among the richest, most velvety essences available. This essence is captured through a process of distillation, whereby the flowers are handpicked at dawn and quickly processed to avoid fermentation.
