Popular Roses
Two of the most popular roses used in perfumery are the Turkish rose (Rosa Damascena) and the French rose (Rosa Centifolia), both used in top-tier perfume houses and loved tremendously. The difference between the two roses is that the French rose (Rosa Centifolia) is considered more precious and sought after because it is grown in smaller quantities, making it harder to obtain. Rosa Centifolia has a honey-esque scent that wraps around the deep red petals. Contrastingly, the Turkish rose (Rosa Damascena) is known to have a more floral and sweet scent! Nonetheless, both of these roses are gorgeous and will bloom in bright and beautiful ways within the depths of your fragrance.
