"The spring breeze refreshes the faces of roses" Omar Khayyam
 
The rose has always been a symbol of beauty, youth and health. This royal plant has a special place in the hearts of people from antiquity to modern times and is part of romantic tales, legends and stories that still fascinate readers today. The incomparable aroma, delicate tenderness and unique properties of this gift of nature bring the feeling of luxury, health and happiness.

The rose, which came from India and Persia and travelled through many countries and uncertainties, has found its home in the mild climate and fertile land between the sunny mountains of central Bulgaria. This is one of the few places in the world where perfect conditions for growing the oleaginous rose - Rosa Damascena - prevail. In this region, known as Rose Valley, the production of rose oil dates back to the 16th century, while Bulgaria was the world leader in the production in the 19th century. The rose is closely connected with Bulgaria, as it appears in various symbols of the country. Every year during the rose harvest months of May and June, the Rose Carnivals tell about the old traditions of collecting flowers and producing oil - traditions that are still preserved today.

The Bulgarian rose has a deep and strong aroma and from its blossom Bulgarian Rose Karlovo produces the finest rose oil. Collecting rose petals is a very delicate and labor-intensive process, which is carried out by hand and with great care. It is done in the early morning hours when the flowers are in bloom and the essential oil contained in them is at its highest concentration. Over 3000 kg of hand-picked rose petals are needed to produce only 1 kg of rose oil.

The rose oil is called "liquid gold" because of its unique properties and high price. It is a natural elixir with countless benefits. It contains minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that have calming, anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties. They ensure a high moisture content of the skin, while you feel soft and smooth to the touch. Aromatherapy with rose oil reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and has a positive effect on depressive states.

Bulgarian rose oil is a fragrant treat for the senses. Previously available only to the upper social classes, it is now used by the world's leading cosmetic and perfume brands. The products based on natural rose oil protect the skin from the natural elements and the stress of everyday life. They offer a nature-based therapy for body and soul and help them to maintain their vitality and beauty.

Cosmetic products for face, body and hair have been carefully developed by scientists and skilfully combine the pleasant fragrance and unique properties of Bulgarian rose oil with other natural ingredients. Aromatic herbs grown in the fertile soil of Bulgaria - lavender, mint, lemon balm and others - have a strong beneficial effect and are the basis of many natural beauty products that are known and sought after all over the world. The products have wonderful properties that protect skin and hair from harmful environmental influences and the stress of modern times. They contain natural minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, which have calming, anti-inflammatory and nourishing effects. They offer a natural therapy for body and soul and help them to stay fresh and youthful.

Undesirable effects of modern life usually affect the skin first. Products based on rose oil are of the highest quality and suitable for all skin types, especially for dry, sensitive or mature skin. They provide a pleasant feeling of vitality and freshness. They soothe inflammation and redness, have an antiseptic effect and give a smooth texture and a radiant complexion. The products have excellent moisturizing properties and a gentle caring effect. With regular use, the skin becomes soft, supple and radiant. It is not without reason that beauty has been compared to the flower of the rose since ancient times.
