Known since Antiquity and cultivated since the Renaissance for its sweet floral fragrance, the Rose Alba is a hybrid rose from Europe and whose exact origins are still unclear (possibly crossed between the Rosa canina and the Rosa damascena). It features a bluish-green foliage as well as large, almost double, highly aromatic white flowers.
With a subtle and captivating floral scent, sweeter than that of the Damask rose, the Rose Alba hydrosol is best known for its purifying, refreshing and balancing properties, both soothing and invigorating. In cooking, its refined flavor will originally perfume various dishes and desserts, such as salads or red fruit sorbets. Used as a room spray, this hydrosol will create a delicate, romantic and soothing atmosphere. Cosmetic-wise, it is an effective facial toner.
