Rose is one of the most popular flowers in perfumery. It is part of an innumerable number of pink compositions and often accompanies oriental fragrances. It has been recognized in Arabic perfumery as an important element of men's compositions. Rose essential oil is used not only in perfumery, but also in cooking. With its help, flavorists create fruit and floral flavors. Despite its popularity, natural raw materials are quite expensive and are often falsified by unscrupulous suppliers using synthetic components. In perfumery, two types of roses are used: Damask and May (stolepestkovaya), all other roses found in olfactory pyramids are hybrids of these two species. In addition to natural raw materials, the use of fully or partially synthetic chords, fantastical or imitating the aromatic profiles of natural raw materials, is extremely popular.
