Aromatic Profile
White Rose CO₂ wax offers a soft, creamy, and clean floral aroma, lighter and more transparent than Damask or Centifolia rose. Its fragrance opens with fresh petal and morning dew notes, followed by subtle nuances of green leaves, light honey, and soft musk. There’s a spiritual and serene quality to its scent—gentle yet captivating, grounding yet uplifting.
Perfumers value this wax for its refined floral character and its ability to lend a natural elegance and sensuality to blends. It harmonizes beautifully with jasmine, neroli, sandalwood, violet leaf, frankincense, and orris butter, as well as with citrus and white floral accords. Its fixative power allows fragrances to linger delicately on the skin, adding both body and soul to the composition.
