The rose, a legendary flower prized by perfumers
Cultivated in the south of France and in Eastern countries, the rose is one of the most noble raw materials in perfumery. Appreciated since Antiquity for its natural, delicate, and suave beauty and scent, the rose symbolizes love, passion, and femininity.
Its intense, sweet, and sensual fragrance appeals to both women and men.
If once upon a time the Romans used roses to perfume the air of their baths, the rise of this special flower comes from the use of distillations. After disappearing from the Grasse landscape for a while, the rose was reintroduced and once again cultivated in the 19th century at the request of major perfume houses.
Among the many varieties of roses, perfumers have a preference for Centifolia and Damask. The rose is picked near Grasse in May, and every year, several tons of roses are produced and shared among the world's perfume houses.
At 100BON, we love roses because they provide true comfort. That is why we have chosen the Damask rose, grown directly in Turkey, to scent our most floral and sunny fragrances.
The benefits of Damask rose
The Damask rose, also called the "Queen of Flowers," is mainly cultivated in Turkey, Bulgaria, and Morocco. This rose originated from Syria and was imported to France during the Crusades.
At 100BON, we adore this rose with its sweet fragrance that evokes well-being. Indeed, Damask roses cultivated in Turkey are sweet, gentle, and highly fragrant. Often present in the top note, its scent awakens emotions, sensuality, and soothing, and invites us to reconnect with ourselves and live intensely.
It is said to have the power to regulate emotions: roses bring tenderness, comfort, self-love, and love for others.
