The Damaskus Rose: An Original Favour Idea

For centuries, the rose has been considered as being a symbol of beauty and love. The divine fragrance of the rose has been captured and preserved in the form of rose water by an ancient method that can be traced back to biblical times in the Middle East, and later to the Indian subcontinent.


Filling organza sacs or tulles with tiny Damascas rosebuds is new, romantic idea for wedding favours. Make your own rose water from magnificent dried, highly perfumed Damascus rosebuds gathered together in stunning organza sacs. These vivid roses emanate a sweet perfume, reflecting femininity and tenderness that will delight your guests.

Soaking our Damascus rosebuds in water for three or four days releases a wonderful rose essence that you can add to your bath or even try rinsing your hair with it after shampooing for the soft, romantic fragrance of summer roses. As the gentlest of all astringents, rose water is often used as toner for fair and dry skin.

Freshen your home in the springtime using the Indian ritual of sprinkling rose water or use it to make aromatic salads. Rose water is used especially in Indian and Arabic cooking.
