Tales from Nature
Damask Rose traces its origins to the ancient lands of the Middle East, finding its highest quality expression today in the valleys of Bulgaria and Turkey. Considered a legendary ingredient, its production requires extraordinary effort: in fact, about four thousand kilograms of fresh petals are needed to obtain a single liter of essential oil.
It is harvested exclusively in the early morning hours, when the flowers are still rich in dew, an ideal condition for capturing the purest and most intense essence. Because of its rarity and excellent properties, Damask Rose is celebrated worldwide as the "Queen of Flowers" and is one of the most sought-after actives in international high cosmetics.
Historically, it is said that it was the Crusaders who imported it to Europe in the 13th century, making it over time the universal symbol of beauty and refinement for skin care.
