What is the appearance and color of the wild rose absolute?
The absolute is a viscous liquid to semi-solid paste, colored golden brown to reddish amber, fully consistent with the 'yellow to dark reddish-brown liquid' sensory specification of GB 1886.263-2016 for rose absolute.
Appearance Profile
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Form | Viscous liquid to semi-solid paste |
| Color | Golden brown to reddish amber |
| Consistency | Thickens and may solidify below ~15°C |
| Clarity | Clear to slightly opalescent when warmed |
| Odor | Intense rose floral, honey-like, with green and fruity undertones |
- At low temperature the absolute thickens; gentle warming to 30–40°C restores fluidity without altering quality
- Color intensity varies naturally between harvests but always stays within the golden-to-reddish amber range
- The visual and olfactory profile is verified organoleptically on every batch before release
A physical sample is the quickest way to confirm the color and consistency for your formulation.
