Damascus Rose

Damascus Rose | Damascus Rose Petals

True beauty has the power to inspire and elevate. Every day, it enriches our lives with infinite possibilities. An ardent sonnet, a fervid film, an irresistible rhythm, when we encounter singular works of immaculate beauty, our senses are heightened, and the way we perceive the world is forever changed.

Beauty is timeless, and nothing symbolizes romantic beauty like a rose.  In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare wrote, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet".  Juliet compares Romeo to a rose saying that if he were not named Romeo, he would still be handsome and still be Juliet's eternal love. This may be true for William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet, but in the world of olfaction and gastronomy, there are roses and there are Damascus Rose from The Rose Valley Kazanlak.

Grown on miles and miles of space, locals seem to revel in the sheer emptiness of Rose Valley. There is only roughly 26 people per square mile here. Even the residents are quick to drop into the conversation how much space there is and that’s precisely the point. Space.

Crusader Robert de Brie who was captivated by its beauty and fragrances takes credit for bringing this Persian plant to Europe in the mid-13^th century. Eventually it was brought to Bulgaria and its cultivation began in the “Valley of Roses.” Damascus Rose is now widely known and highly regarded throughout the world. It was then made the national emblem of the Bulgarian people. Its complex structure of nearly 300 molecular components is the secret to its unrivaled quality.

The Damascus Rose from the Rose Valley is synonymous with the Golden Age of perfumery. To this day the techniques and style of production has remained unchanged for over 300 years. It is the star that stands as one among the 5,000 other varieties of known roses. 

From deep ground to heavenly heights, aiming to combine the natural with the eternal, the Damascus Rose offers the rare stillness of nature. The geological structure, deep stratification, and memory of ancient seas are the origin of these alluring aromas.

A tail as old as time. Regal and silent, lush, and lavish, velvety, and voluptuous, obsession and hope, Damascus Rose is a shade of secrets and passion like a romantic encounter. Try it for yourself. It is an epiphany in every sip.
