Description: Rosa Gallica Absolute Oil derives from the Rosa Gallica plant, known for its beauty and sweet-smelling scent. This flowering shrub plant has intensely-coloured, non-recurrent flowers.

Cautions: It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - become lost.  Should not be used on broken or irritated skin.
