Natural Damask Rose Essential Oil
Rosa damascena | Second Distillation | Iran
Product Overview
Natural Damask Rose Essential Oil is obtained from Rosa × damascena Mill., a perennial plant belonging to the Rosaceae family and traditionally associated with the production of high-value aromatic ingredients.
Damask rose is valued for its distinctive aromatic profile and is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, personal care and aromatherapy applications. The production of rose essential oil requires a large quantity of freshly harvested flowers and carefully controlled distillation processes.
Second Distillation
NURÉ’s Second Distillation Damask Rose Essential Oil is obtained through the redistillation of the aromatic water (rose hydrosol) remaining after the first distillation.
This process allows the recovery of part of the remaining volatile aromatic compounds and produces a natural rose oil with a distinctive, soft and balanced aromatic profile.
Characteristic aromatic constituents may include citronellol, geraniol, nerol and phenethyl alcohol, which contribute to the recognizable olfactory character of Damask rose.

First Distillation vs. Second Distillation
First Distillation Essential Oil
First Distillation Damask Rose Essential Oil is obtained during the initial distillation of freshly harvested rose flowers.
It represents the primary essential-oil fraction obtained directly from the fresh botanical material and is widely used in:
• Fine fragrance and perfumery
• Cosmetics and personal care
• Soaps and shampoos
• Scented products
• Aromatherapy
• Other fragrance applications
Second Distillation Essential Oil
Second Distillation Damask Rose Essential Oil is obtained through the redistillation of the aromatic water produced during the first distillation.
The process recovers volatile aromatic constituents remaining in the hydrosol and results in a distinct rose aromatic profile.
The two grades can differ in their extraction stage, aromatic composition and sensory characteristics. The actual characteristics of each commercial batch should be evaluated through sensory assessment and batch-specific analytical documentation.
