Sultan’s Musk Rose Otto (Rosa indica)

Adam Michael has this to say “The immediate opening of rosa indica otto is tart rose, watery rose with earth, mineral, tea and gourmand tonalities and very reminiscent of Japanese rugosa otto albeit with 10x more power from the go-go.  As we progress the profile showcases lashings of vintage gallica and hybrid musk rose goodness along with clean musky ambrettolide, cocoa, biscuit, caramel, fridge fresh mint water, honey and a touch of creamy oat which triggers a memory of evaluating Saudi Taif Rose that was produced on equipment powered by fire furnace – so much so I’ve cross compared with my Taif reference and this cereal esq note is still present today and as good as identical to my nose.

The heart moves into a dominant musky rose form on skin after a few hours until dry-down with lots of powdery rose nuances, a touch rose soapy, floral bouquet, and finished with a low irones content orris quality – generally a more gourmand encounter compared with high percentage orris aromatics.

Uses, pairs wonderfully with other rose aromatics, is a must for building vintage rose accords, dreamy dosed with gourmands through to sandalwoods, orange blossoms, orris aromatics and of real value to those who want to learn more about the world of roses varieties and cultivars.”
