Monoterpenes (One of the many terpenes, monoterpenes (the smallest of the terpenes, although one of the most widely occurring) are mostly found in essential or volatile oils. Aromatherapists use monoterpenes as a mucus membrane tonic as decongestants and to ease nasal and other mucus membrane discomfort. Monoterpenes evaporate easily and have a low boiling point. Monoterpenes are mostly colorless and odorless, prone to oxidation. Oxidants from monoterpenes could be irritant.Monoterpenes are antiseptic, antiviral and bactericidal),
Note: Essential oil and Atar extracted differently should not mix these concepts, but this two substances you can mixed with each other (if you making your own perfume).
Rosa Gallica, also known as the French Rose, is believed to be indigenous to Iran where these species have been cultivated since time immemorial.
The cultivation of the Rose probably started in ancient times in Persia.
Rosa Gallica (Gallic Rose, French Rose, or Rose of Provins) is a species of flowering plant in the Rose family, native to southern and central Europe eastwards to Turkey and the Caucasus.
The variety of Rosa Gallica Officinalis that is cultivated in many regions across the globe is also known as Apothecary's Rose.
The Gallicas are probably the oldest of all garden Roses. They were grown by the Greeks and Romans.
In the 17th century the Dutch started to breed new varieties, and later the French continued their development on a very large scale. Among them are to be found some very fine Roses with magnificent mixtures of colour - particularly among the crimson, purple and mauve shades - and they have beautiful flower formation.
Plants of this species are deciduous shrubs that often grow up to 1,5 meters in height. Although Roses of this species have developed naturally over several centuries into the plants we are now familiar with, they were first developed by breeders during the early 1800's. Plants belonging to this family of Roses have even stalks bearing piercing thorns. The stems of the plants possess spikes and bristles with glands. The edges of the leaves are jagged like a saw and each leaf has three to seven pairs of leaflets that are bluish-green. These deciduous shrubs cover a large area forming a green covering. The flowers appear in bunches of one to four, while each flower has five single petals that are aromatic and profoundly pink in hue. The hips resemble globes or have an ovoid shape and vary in diameter between 10 mm and 13 mm. Their color ranges from orange to brownish.
People who are involved with aromatherapy utilize the Rose as a mild tranquilizer, anti-depressant and also to cure inflammations or tenderness.
Several researches have established that the petals of the Rose and the preparations with them are similar. In addition to the therapeutic uses of the Rose mentioned above, the petals of the flower and medicines prepared with them have proved to lower elevated cholesterol levels in our bloodstream.
Conversely, Rosewater is mildly caustic or astringent by nature and hence, it is incorporated as an important element for preparing a cream that is used to heal swelling as well as eye pains.
The Rose has always been a symbol of love and over the centuries many marriages have been celebrated with scattered Rose Petals and romantic Rose Petal baths.
The Rose Blossom’s distillate was used to prepare Rosewater, Rose Vinegar andperfume.
What is Rose Attar and how it is born:
True Attar distilled in large clay containers a lot of manual labor and a large knowledge of substances efficiently. Distillation Attar depending on the kind of takes from three months to two years. Sometimes Attari distilled in Sandalwood oil, and sometimes the flowers are distillating together with Sandalwood powder and chips slowly distilled in the same clay or copper boiler.
Sandalwood oil acts as a fixative and a kind of receptacle extremely fragile and unstable floral aromas. Sandalwood aroma is total aromatics quintessence - quality Sandalwood smells like "emptiness", covering all faktors spaces. Sandalwood aroma protects and cares, but does not impose himself .
Comprised of traditional Indian Rose Attar. Roses are placed in copper distilling vessels where they sit in heated water. Vapors pass over into a receiving vessel containing Sandalwood oil, which absorbs the Rose essence over a period of 20 days or 2 months or 2 years. New flowers are distilled each day.
