Rose oil

Rose oil is an essential oil that is extracted from the petals of various types of rose. Rose ottos are extracted through steam distillation, while rose absolutes are obtained through solvent extraction, the absolute being used more commonly in perfumery. The production technique originated in Iran.

Even with their high price and the advent of organic synthesis, rose oils are still perhaps the most widely used essential oil in perfumery.
