Rosa centifolia L. — Cabbage Rose Oil
Rosa centifolia — also known as the Cabbage Rose or May Rose — produces an essential oil with a rich, full-bodied floral character and characteristic honeyed sweetness. The multi-petalled blooms yield an aromatic extract of exceptional depth, with lush green facets that distinguish it from other rose species. Bioform cultivates 14 hectares of certified organic Rosa centifolia in the heart of Bulgaria's Rose Valley, steam distilling the freshly harvested petals on site to capture the complete aromatic profile of the living flower.
Rose Centifolia essential oil is preferred by perfumers for its rounded, enveloping quality — a warm, embracing floral note that adds body and naturalness to fine fragrance compositions. In luxury skincare, the oil is prized for its soothing and moisturising properties, making it a cornerstone ingredient in premium formulations for sensitive and mature skin.
