Known since Antiquity, the Rose centifolia or "Rose de Mai" is a hybrid rose that was originally cross-bred in Holland and then in France. Its full and aromatic flowers, from light pink to bright pink, produce a smooth floral scent, sweeter than that of the Damask Rose, and which perfumers could not do without.

Just as aromatic, the Rose Centifolia hydrosol is especially known for its purifying, refreshing and balancing properties. Its delicate flavors will be very much appreciated in cooking to bring a floral and refined touch to various desserts, such as those based on red fruits or pistachio (sorbets, drinks, jams, chocolates, etc.), as well as to oriental dishes or pastries, including Turkish delight. Cosmetic-wise, this hydrosol helps to refresh, cleanse, soothe and tone the skin, as well as slowing down the skin aging process.

With a high extraction ratio, our hydrosols contain a high level of aromatic molecules. To learn more about our manufacturing and internal storage conditions, please refer to the "TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS" tab of our product sheets.
