Often mistakenly lumped together with other roses, the Rosa Damascena—also known as the Damask Rose or Turkish Rose—is universally recognized as one of the most celebrated rose varieties. Dubbed the “Queen of Roses,” its fragrance is subtler than that of varieties like wild, tea, or Pingyin roses, yet it exudes an inherent elegance. Internationally acknowledged as a lightly scented floral, the Damask rose yields one of the rarest essential oils among the Rosaceae. Extracted by the Otto process, its oil is prized for offering a comprehensive and invaluable aromatic therapeutic profile.
