Afghan Rose Otto
Afghan Rose Otto is a rare and exceptional essential oil, distilled from the petals of Rosa damascena grown in the serene valleys of Afghanistan. Its aroma is a unique blend of fresh, dewy rose notes, honeyed sweetness, and a subtle lychee-like juiciness. What sets this rose otto apart is its enchanting smoky nuance at the top—a beautiful, ethereal touch that adds depth and character to its already captivating profile.

In recent years, Afghan farmers have transformed their landscapes, replacing opium poppy fields with flourishing rose gardens. Supported by initiatives like "Roses for Nangarhar," these sustainable practices have empowered local communities while producing some of the finest rose oils in the world. The early morning harvest and careful distillation ensure the purity and resilience of this exquisite oil.

Afghan Rose Otto is more than an aromatic treasure; it is a symbol of renewal, hope, and the beauty that emerges from resilience. Perfect for high-end attars, perfumery, and aromatherapy, this rare oil embodies the heart and soul of its origin.

Additional Note: This rose otto may crystallize at temperatures below 20°C due to its natural purity. Warm the bottle gently in your hands or place it in warm water to restore it to its liquid state.
