The essence of rose in the perfume sector
To get the essence of rose, distill the petals of the flowers quickly after having cut them. Then the volatile solvents are extracted to get the absolute pink. For this use, two species in particular are used: it is the rose centifolia also called the "rose of May" (as it flowers in May), as well as the rose of Damascus. Many synthetic materials currently exist and can allow perfumery houses to dispense with components of natural origin.
