What aromatic compounds give rose flower wax its signature fragrance?
The wax is naturally rich in citronellol, geraniol and phenylethyl alcohol — the signature compounds behind rose's legendary floral character.
| Compound | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Citronellol | Fresh, rosy-floral freshness |
| Geraniol | Sweet, warm rose depth |
| Phenylethyl alcohol | Delicate, honeyed rose nuance |
Why This Matters to Your Perfumer
- The balance of these three compounds is what defines an authentic damask rose profile
- A GC-MS chromatographic profile is provided with every batch, letting your perfumer compare our wax against your existing rose materials
- Because the compounds are naturally occurring, the wax blends well with other floral, citrus and oriental notes
