Rose & Leaf Absolute
Eleonora Scalseggi & Adam Michael have this to say “So, it is the 14th April 2020 and we are proud to introduce this rose leaf absolute obtained from rose flowers and leaves hailing from Bulgaria, produced by using all parts of the rose including spent flowers, stalks and leaves. A super rarity to be treasured and a material we find to be of priceless value when layered with classic rose absolutes, in turn providing a true to life rose profile garden experience. But more on that later.
First, straight from the bottle, you are instantly greeted with honey-sweet rose notes, and dewy-herbaceous qualities that are comparable to the opening notes found within our Persian rose otto. The aroma profile is warm, rich, spicy, indulgent and as the minutes progress, for us, in standalone form, this is not like evaluating say the classic rose absolutes but instead better resembles the rose bourbon absolute DNA experience minus the vegetal aspects. Applied to the skin, the rosy qualities are bright, unmissable and better still, you clearly detect a heavy mash up of green notes represented by the abundance of rose leaves and stalks, in turn very comparable to taking a walk in a dense, rich green lush garden. In fact in our mind this material evokes the idea of a scorching hot summer day in the garden, the search of shelter in the cool shade of trees or bushes and more over the richness, warmth and intensity displayed throughout is reminiscent of plant parts heated by the summer sun. Also if you have ever enjoyed the simple pleasure of crushing a geranium leaf in your hand, that aroma experience is here too, entwined within frankincense church type qualities and that make us go ga-ga with delight.
Used in combination with Bulgarian rose absolute (We used our Super Premium), this rose & leaf absolute adds depth, naturalness,complexity and a touch of mystery, like a walk in a secret jungle garden where we feel safe, private, intrigued and charmed among the lush and overgrown fragrant rose bushes. This combo captures and displays the true essence of a rose garden.
Used in combination with rose otto, the rose & leaf absolute exalts the green, geranium notes, the walk in the garden feel is still very strong, but rather than romantic rose bushes the impression is that of a garden after a rainy day in early summer.
Used in combination rose bourbon absolute, the most “vegetative” of rose materials, rose & leaf absolute imparts richness, herbaceous-sweet warmth with honeyed and spicy notes, warm earth and grasses in a summer garden scenario, the sweet warm breeze, making the combo the ultimate garden accord – so garden breeze, dewy watery aspects, rich soils, flowers all fleeting in and out of detection.
For all those who want to recreate a true to nature blooming rose shrub and/or impart a cottage garden feel into your composition then this is a must try material and we would add using this aromatic within both rose absolutes and tobacco absolutes compositions can provide a more interesting take on the usual rose and tobacco combination alone.
Finally the photos used here were taken by us at “Roseto Fineschi”, one of the largest private rose collections in Europe, definitely worth a visit if you are in Tuscany in the months of May and June.”

Dear Friends, I have tried this Rose & Leaf Absolute a little bit before it was released for sell thanks to Adam’s and Eleonora’s generosity – they kindly sent me a precious sample – and as soon as i opened it i entered right into a fairy tale were children were gathering roses to bring them to their mother, were lovers were kissing in a shadow of petals in a warm sunny day, were bees were flying with joy, were birds were singing on branches of bushes …
My experience was unique as if i were smelling all roses and most rare plants in the world as well as cedar atlas, oak wood, galbanum, honey, violet leaves, cassie flowers, honey and roses, roses and roses most fragrant roses heated by the sun in a light breeze …
It filled my nostrils in a such rich and luxurious way that i could not stop smelling and smelling again …
And i said to myself – i want to buy all – till the last drop in possession by Adam and Eleonora …
But i am generous as well you see – so i left some for you as well my dear friends – so Hurry, Hurry until i did not buy it all ;)P.
And again one more – unique in its own way – Treasure in my collection.
You just can not miss it.

I think this has to be my favourite rose abs. It’s absolutely stunning, capturing so much more than a crisp and perfectly dewy morning rose. It’s got all the wonderful, grubby, earthy aspects. Has subtle, almost labdanum-like qualities to my nose. A rose abs for people who think they don’t like rose and a whole new world of complexity for those who love it.

A sweet rose opening, the rose stays true as it develops.
It is the sweet opening, and green mid that set this oil apart.
But what truly recommends it : it’s naturalness, it is alive. It is much more complex than any other rose materials.
It dries peppery.
I appreciate that you carry this, because no one else does

A real stunner – combine it with any Rose abs/eo and you will be in Rose Heaven.

The most stunning rose material – it is exactly taking a walk in a “rich green lush (rose) garden”. Marries beautifully with raspberry leaf absolute and your chosen rose abs/eo.

Wow, wow! I can’t rave enough about this absolute – this is beautiful either on its own, or as a more economical “extender” of other rose absolutes. It has the full freshness, sweetness and brightness of rose petals and just a small hint of the green leaf and stem – the green notes do not overwhelm at all, but give this absolute a very photorealistic sense. Cannot recommend this enough for your collection.

Real roses. Smelling this is like walking in a rose garden.
Robert (verified owner) –
Wow. Initially I wasnt expecting this to be as rosey as it is, it’s like rose bushes after the rain, the greenness comes through later on. Gorgeous material, I’ll be ordering much more of this!

I do not Not Normally leave reviews ,but this material deserves a mention ,it is something else the initial smell is rich rose combined with a hint of rich greens, earthy but with sweetness, my customers love this and are really taken back by it of how good it is , this should be in each perfumers/collectors collection.Well done for sourcing such a unique material.

I really love this one, the consistency is very thick and the scent is powerful, very sweet with hints of green, I was expecting more of different profile because of it being rose and leaf, was not sure what to expect actually! but it’s a coherent and super sweet “green-smelling” absolute, like fresh damascena rose petals, and I’m very pleased I bought it. You can smell the freshness of the materials used, though the oils from dried petals have their own quality and could also be used in deeper or more masculine perfumes, while this is perhaps more feminine. Still, I am a man and would wear it myself since I love rose scents, really it comes down to personal preference. Will try a few things and maybe order a bigger quantity soon!

A rose & leaf is a special material .. I didn’t think one drop could work wonders. But yes, he can.! It gives other roses a beautiful kindness, sweetness, I can even smell a fresh lemon in it! And then honey and … all the splendor of the world! Definitely a darling in my collection, I’m running out, don’t buy everything at once, leave me something! 🙂

It smells thick, rich. A deep, candy rose. It feels like red oil paint spreading copiously over a canvas. Like a rose garden in full bloom.
Thank you so much Adam and Eleanor for the opportunity to live this rose.
And, yes indeed, really looking forward to buying everything you so generously offer for us!
Masterpiece materials!
Hugs, Oksana and Anton.
