Rose Absolute Signature (TURKEY)
3rd July 2024: I now have stock of 2024 season Turkish rose absolute and still have a good stock of 2023 left. As such I offer both for sale here in this listing. Aromatically both start very similar in the top, 2024 season perhaps has the better opening in that its both smoother and more potent when compared with 2023 material. The heart notes of 2024 season showcase a more fulsome, richer, intense, stronger rose floral experience compared with 2023 season material, of which comes across as more youthful experience, with noticeable powdery rose tonalities and a stronger honey rose finish. 2023 material is by far the easier of the two, to both understand and utilise within your creations and is perhaps the more commercial friendly offering. 2024 material has much more bite and I feel will be better appreciated by the hardcore rose connoisseurs. Either way both are wonderful materials.
Both 2023 and 2024 are orange red in colour – with 2024 being ever so slightly darker. Both batches have been produced by the same Turkish producer but note the costs have increased and this is reflected in my pricing. And to be completely open here, when I originally listed 2023 material, I priced it extremely competitively to the point it was not much beyond cost. I did this to compete with my competition. However I went on to sample what my competition are obtaining and politely I do not know how they can be regarded as my competition, they are selling inferior product that falls apart aromatically too fast. Therefore I have raised my 2023 price slightly so that we can earn a fairer return on our efforts. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “The top note of this Turkish rose absolute exudes a joyous diffusive rose-honey note with immensely deep rose character in the heart and beautiful rose warmth within the base notes. This absolute is grown in Isparta, also known as the Rose District and located in the south west part of Anatolia.
This Turkish rose absolute is rose red in colour, of a pourable viscosity and essential for building rose bases, improving rosy florals, carnation bases, developing oriental bases, fougere, chypre etc. Also provides interesting effects within spice notes and blends especially well with most jasmine materials.”

This Turkish Rose absolute disappeared in my blends too quickly! Turkish Damask rose is the closest by scent to that unforgettable scent of summer rose garden, which is so difficult to repeat in perfume. Green and fresh, rosy and spicy, dewy and subtly sweet. Have you ever tried to nibble damask rose petal standing there in the rose garden? This is exactly it. The scent of Turkush rose absolute is all over you – in you nose, and mouth, and in your head, and in your soul.
Watching Golden red drop slowly swelling out and forming into shape before falling into the vial is mesmerising. Not too slow, not too quick, just perfect).

Love it. It goes quite nicely with ouds and rose ottos, tuberose and gardenia absolutes, oth of which quite stunning too.
It has the sweetness – a typical feature with all rose absolutes I have tried from various regions (referring to Rosa damascena only). The spicy and green top note is not common thing in rose absolutes. So it goes really nicely simply with rose ottos, especially if you want to enjoy a more complete rose in an intense form for a longer time. In other words, imho, if you want to make an all natural rose attar/perfume that is dark and more sophisticated, this is worth trying.
It can be quite dark too – especially if you add some birch tar, along with your typical rose otto and Indian oud combination. The possibilities are endless.

Rose in all its natural fulsomeness, heady and dense, …a pure, pure, rose, … a walk through an English rose garden in late June, red roses fill the air with their velvety warmth, and as their dew evaporates, a dense green spicy pepperiness develops all around.
Soon this rose gives even more of itself: sweet lychees and honeyed mangoes; a rose-infused exotic fruit salad, inhaled through a powdery cinnamon-rose veil.
This exquisite Turkish Rose Absolute has such depth, longevity and possibilities. I wear it on its own, but it’s also very special in edgier creations, alongside dark resins, patchouli and oakmoss.

Definitely a fullbody rose with all the right notes in all the right places.
It goes through so many stages and lasts all day ending with classic sweet deep narcotic rose.
Lush and addictive:)

The image that this rose absolute evokes to me is a green garden were i have just placed a vase of roses and carnation flowers next to a jar filled with spices, making a composition for a painting.
Its bitter sweet notes are in a wonderful harmony with a perfect rose scent, a very special rose – unique, complex and gorgeously multilayered.
You can smell it again and again and never get tired – so much it is amazingly different from other rose absolutes.
Not too sweet, not too spicy, very very Rosy and really persistent.
Can detect a slight cinnamon note as well as carnation in a background.
I would call it a “Perfect rose in a perfect world”.
Rich, sensual, hypnotic – a Number one.

Adam, you can’t take this gold out of the offer! Listen to me if you don’t want to upset me! To describe it in words is a crime. Because there are no words to describe this rose beauty and energy. Everyone – order, do not expect a review from another, you need to try.!

Quite simply the best rose absolute.
It’s so pure but heady and totally addictive.
Just this alone makes the most beautiful perfume.
Once you have had this you won’t be able to have another.
Thank you hermitage.
The highest quality oils I have used since becoming an aromatherapist over 25 years ago.
To read your descriptions is like reading poetry too.
Please never change.

A classic all-around staple, that allows me to practice a motto; Aucun parfum ne va sans Rose!
It goes every where – as a centre for Rose Soliflore perfume, or as a foundation for rich floral bouquest, or bringing a smoothing finish for for spices and bitter herbs, or in bath tub, and even making my morning rose-infused tea; water vapor and tea bring the aroma to a full natural impression of rose garden. Delightful and accessible.

This scent is lovely though undiluted it lingers for about 15 minutes. I do love the scent and I will use it in perfumes with oud, as a top note. I was confused, I always thought absolutes linger longer because they are thicker, but apparently the rose oils have more longevity. As a top note it works well and considering the price it is a good buy. Great for cosmetics like rose water or a cream.

To my nose a beautiful velvety, full and very complex rose. Damascene but indeed joyous and even a bit gourmandy fruity. Not as spicy as i expected from the genus and i actually very much like that.
This rose makes me happy, it works in every formula i use it in to give a this very energetic sunny top and velvety warm rose heart.

2024 batch, wonderful waxy rose, I made a solid with this, mixing it with 25% rose wax, turned out very beautiful! Beautiful color of the absolute as well, lasts on my skin about 3 hours

Récolte 2023.
Une rose fraiche assez verte avec ses pétales et ses feuilles.
Assez proche de l’odeur d’ensemble de la boutique d’un fleuriste.
Très intéressant pour alléger un parfum de rose trop lourd, trop sucré ou trop capiteux.
Un beau produit.
Excellent rapport qualité prix.
