Our perfumes containing Rose

Rose-water

The use of roses as a fragrance was adopted by early civilizations like Romans, Chinese, and Egyptians who grew the flowers widely around 5000 years ago. In India, since the time of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, rose attar has been distilled in the city “Kannauj” (the attar capital in India) for more than 400 years. Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, was an avid enthusiast of roses that she used to bathe in a water pool packed with rose petals. 

The production process of rose attar is very labor-intensive and very low content of oil can be collected from the rose blooms. Roses are picked by hand in the early morning before sunrise and processed on the same day.

One kilogram of oil can be produced from 4 to 6 tons of rose flowers, which is huge.
