Rosa alba L. — White Rose Absolute
Rose Alba absolute is one of the rarest aromatic raw materials available from Bulgarian rose production. Produced by ethanol washing of our Rosa alba concrete, it captures the complete aromatic profile of the white rose — a soft, honeylike floral character that is distinctly lighter and more delicate than Damascena or Centifolia absolutes, making it exceptional for fine fragrance work where precision and elegance are required.
Bioform cultivates 15 hectares of certified organic Rosa alba, producing the concrete and absolute entirely on site. Because Rosa alba yields are small relative to Damascena, the absolute is produced in limited quantities each season. Full batch documentation — COA, GC-MS report and SDS — is supplied as standard, with full traceability from field through extraction to finished product.
