Turkish Rose

Turkish rose, the Rosa damascena cultivated in Turkey's Isparta region, is one of the most prestigious rose materials in world perfumery. Turkish rose tends to be slightly spicier, drier, and more complex than Bulgarian or Moroccan roses, with a distinctive honeyed depth and a hint of clove-like warmth.

Turkey is the world's largest producer of rose oil. Turkish rose adds a rich, spicy floral character that is particularly prized in oriental and Middle Eastern-inspired compositions.

It pairs beautifully with oud for a classic combination, with saffron for exotic luxury, with amber for warm depth, and with sandalwood for creamy elegance.
