Rose Morocco is an oil blend for room scenting and aromatherapy: rose essential oil mixed with jojoba oil. It is meant to aid relaxation.[1] Moroccan rose oil has a deep-sweet, rich and long-lasting floral rose scent.[2] The rose oil is distilled with steam. The raw material comes from Morocco, and the blend itself is made in Switzerland.

Composition

5% rose oil (Rosa centifolia), origin Morocco; 95% jojoba oil.

The plants and the oils

The Moroccan rose is presumably a local variety of Rosa centifolia. It produces many flowers and is excellent for solvent extraction, but steam distillation gives only a small yield of rose oil. People in Morocco have distilled roses and made rose water since the earliest days of Arab settlement, around AD 700.[2]

Jojoba oil, the carrier, consists almost entirely (97%) of wax esters; it is stable and resists oxidation.[3]

Scent

What it smells like. Moroccan rose oil smells deep-sweet, rich and tenacious, a warm floral rose scent; the spicy undertone of Bulgarian rose oil is missing or weaker in it.[2]

Where it is used. In perfumery it adds life, depth, warm notes and naturalness to many floral and non-floral perfumes and to rose bases.[2]

How to use

On the skin, diluted further. Before putting the blend on the skin, dilute it further in a carrier oil such as jojoba oil. The blend already contains 5% rose oil.

For people aged 15 and over, the recommended share of essential oil in a blend is up to 2% for general wellbeing, but not every day. During an illness, at most 5% is acceptable, and only for a short time.[4]

Before the first use, try a little on a small patch of undamaged skin. If the skin reacts, stop and apply a little vegetable oil or cream.[5]

Precautions

For external use only:
  • do not swallow the blend;[6]
  • do not put the blend on the skin undiluted;[6]
  • keep it away from the eyes;[5]
  • keep the bottle out of the reach of children.[5]
Breathing:
  • People with asthma should try the scent carefully at first: fragrances, natural ones included, can make the condition worse.[7]
Pregnancy and children:
  • Properly diluted, rose oil appears to be safe in pregnancy.[5] In pregnancy, use oils on the skin only well diluted, at 1 to 2%.[8]
  • Do not use this blend on babies. Premature babies get no essential oils on the skin, and babies up to 3 months old get at most 0.1%.[4]
  • Older children, too, need much weaker blends than adults.[4]
Fire:
  • The oil burns easily: keep it away from candles and flames.[5]
