white rose absolute

White rose absolute is a natural aromatic extract obtained from the flowers of Rosa alba L., a species in the Rosaceae family. It appears as a concentrated, viscous substance with a characteristic floral aroma encompassing honey-like sweetness, creamy softness, balsamic undertones, subtle spicy accents, and an ethereal quality. Known also by synonyms such as alba rose flower absolute and rosa x alba flower absolute, this material represents a valued ingredient in the fragrance industry. White rose absolute is documented in chemical databases like PubChem. Its extraction relies primarily on solvent techniques from the fresh petals of Rosa alba flowers, capturing the complex olfactory profile unique to this rose species. This absolute is distinguished from other rose extracts by its particular scent nuances and is utilized for its refined floral facets in perfume applications.

White rose absolute is naturally derived from the flowers of Rosa alba, a species historically cultivated for its aromatic qualities. It occurs in the petals where essential oils and aromatic compounds accumulate. The absolute finds primary application as a fragrance agent, imparting a rich floral note with creamy, honeyed, and balsamic nuances to perfumes and scented products. According to the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, usage levels must conform to safety standards applicable to fragrance materials. The absolute is not recommended for flavor use, highlighting its specialized role in perfumery rather than food flavoring. This usage reflects its concentrated aroma and the regulatory frameworks governing fragrance ingredients.

White rose absolute exhibits characteristic solubility and physical properties influencing its formulation in fragranced products. It is soluble in alcohol, facilitating integration into ethanol-based perfume bases, yet insoluble in water, requiring appropriate solvent systems to maintain homogeneity. Its viscous texture and concentrated oil content contribute to its stability and longevity in fragrance matrices. The complex mixture of volatile aromatic molecules confers the multi-dimensional scent profile, while its chemical composition demands careful handling to preserve olfactory integrity. These properties are essential considerations for perfumers when balancing composition, stability, and scent release characteristics in finished formulations.
