Overview
Damask Rose Wax is the solid floral wax fraction obtained from rose flowers by supercritical CO₂ extraction. It combines the lush, full-bodied aroma of Damask rose with a structuring wax texture for natural perfumery, balms, butters and other anhydrous products.
Its rosy, honeyed and softly green character works as a floral heart-to-base note and can add both aromatic persistence and sensorial richness.
