What is ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil?

ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil is a small-batch infusion made from Rosa damascena petals macerated in jojoba and sweet almond oil. Seventy percent of the formulation is rose petals, gathered from the Valley of Roses in Morocco. Nothing else is added. The petals are not distilled, not extracted, not processed. They are held in the oil until the oil carries their full intelligence: their antioxidants, their vitamins, their fragrance, their frequency.

Where are ETHERNAL's roses sourced, and where is the oil made?

ETHERNAL's Rosa damascena petals are sourced from Morocco, specifically from the Valley of Roses, the Dadès Valley, where the Damask Rose has been cultivated for generations. The infusion is crafted on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where the petals are slowly macerated in jojoba and sweet almond oil over time.

How many rose petals are in each bottle?

ETHERNAL uses approximately seventy Rosa damascena petals per milliliter of oil. The 10ml Perfume Oil contains the infusion of approximately 700 petals. The 30ml Signature Oil contains approximately 2,100 petals. The 50ml Atelier Oil contains approximately 3,500 petals.

What is the difference between ETHERNAL Damask Rose Infusion Oil and a rose essential oil?

ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil is a whole-petal infusion, while rose essential oil is produced through steam distillation or solvent extraction. Distillation isolates aromatic compounds but can alter or lose many of the rose's more delicate fat-soluble nutrients. ETHERNAL is a full petal infusion: whole Rosa damascena petals, slowly macerated in carrier oils until they have released their complete profile of vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, and living frequency into the oil.

What is the difference between rose oil and rosehip oil?

Rose oil comes from the petals of Rosa damascena and is rich in antioxidants, fat-soluble vitamins, polyphenols, and fragrant living compounds. Rosehip oil is pressed from the seeds of the rose fruit, carries no floral fragrance, and is known for its fatty acid content. ETHERNAL is a rose petal infusion, not a rosehip oil.

Why is authentic Damask Rose Infusion Oil expensive?

ETHERNAL uses approximately seventy Rosa damascena petals per milliliter of oil, requiring thousands of whole petals for every bottle. The roses are gathered in the Valley of Roses in Morocco during a brief seasonal harvest at peak bloom. The cold infusion method is slow: whole petals are macerated patiently over time. Authentic Rosa damascena contains more than 300 natural compounds and has never been fully replicated synthetically.

How should I use ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil?

Begin in prayer pose. Warm two to three drops between your palms, rubbing them together to generate heat. Inhale slowly and let the fragrance of the rose arrive first. Apply from the neck upward across the face, or downward across the body, with slow and intentional touch. The oil absorbs fully and leaves no residue, only a quiet luminosity and the living scent of the rose.

Can ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil be used on the face?

Yes. The 30ml Signature Oil and 50ml Atelier Oil are formulated for both face and body application. The infusion is carried in jojoba and sweet almond oil, both widely used in facial skincare for their compatibility with the skin barrier. Begin with a small amount and observe how your skin responds.

Is ETHERNAL suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The 30ml and 50ml oils are formulated with sensitive and mature skin in mind. ETHERNAL contains no synthetic fragrance, no preservatives, and no fillers. Jojoba and sweet almond oil are among the most skin-compatible carriers in natural skincare.

What are ETHERNAL Rose Drops?

Rose Drops are ETHERNAL's seasonal limited edition releases, each aligned with one of the four solar turning points of the year: the Spring Equinox, the Summer Solstice, the Autumn Equinox, and the Winter Solstice. Each Drop is produced in a small numbered batch alongside a new seasonal anointment ritual. Once a Drop sells out, it is not reproduced.

What is The Inner Circle of the Rose?

The Inner Circle of the Rose is the living heart of the ETHERNAL universe, a community of those who choose to move with the rose through the seasons. With each Rose Drop, members receive access to a live seasonal ritual session led by ETHERNAL founder Giselle Fiumara, offered both in person and online. Membership begins automatically with the purchase of any ETHERNAL oil.

Is ETHERNAL vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. ETHERNAL Damask Rose Infusion Oil is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. No animal products, no animal testing. Only pure ingredients in their most natural form.

Where is ETHERNAL available?

ETHERNAL is available exclusively online at ethernalofficial.co and ships internationally. ETHERNAL is also present at Faena Miami Beach at Tierra Santa Healing House, with additional New York locations coming soon.

Damask Rose Oil vs Rose Essential Oil: What Is the Difference?

Mar 2

Written By Giselle Fiumara

The terms are often used interchangeably. They should not be. Damask Rose Oil and Rose Essential Oil both originate from the same flower, but the way they are produced, the compounds they preserve, and the way they interact with the skin are entirely distinct. Understanding this difference changes how one chooses to wear the rose.

What Is Damask Rose Oil?

Whole Damask rose petals are slowly macerated in a carrier base of jojoba and sweet almond oil, not steam distilled, not chemically extracted. The petals remain in contact with the oil over time, allowing fat-soluble vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, and aromatic compounds to transfer naturally into the carrier. Nothing is isolated. Nothing is lost.

ETHERNAL sources its Rosa damascena petals from Morocco's Valley of Roses, the Dadès Valley, where the Damask Rose has been cultivated for generations. Each milliliter of oil holds the infusion of approximately seventy rose petals. The result is a nutrient-dense oil designed for face, hair, and body application. It is both a skin treatment and a ritual oil.

What Is Rose Essential Oil?

Rose essential oil is produced through steam distillation or solvent extraction. In this process, rose petals are heated and their volatile aromatic compounds are captured and concentrated. The final product is highly potent and intensely fragrant, and because of its concentration, it must be diluted before being applied to the skin.

Essential oil isolates the aromatic fraction of the plant. It does not carry the full spectrum of fat-soluble nutrients found in a petal infusion. Its primary purpose is aromatic and therapeutic rather than nutritive. Both forms have value. They serve different purposes.

Infusion vs Distillation: What Is Actually Preserved

The difference lies in what survives the process. Steam distillation captures volatile aromatic molecules and creates a concentrated essence of scent. Cold infusion preserves the broader architecture of the flower: vitamins A, C, E, and K, polyphenols, flavonoids, and lipid-soluble antioxidants remain suspended in the carrier oil. The fragrance is softer, but the nutritional profile is intact and whole.

Distillation isolates. Infusion integrates. For topical skincare applied daily to the face and body, this distinction is not minor. It is the entire point.

Which Is Better for Skin?

Rose essential oil is powerful. Because of its concentration, it must be diluted carefully, and for some skin types it can be sensitizing if not properly formulated. Damask Rose petal infusion oil is already carried in skin-compatible oils. Jojoba closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, allowing deeper absorption without clogging pores. Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamins and actively supports the skin barrier.

For daily facial and body application, an infusion oil offers a gentler and more complete delivery of the rose's nutritive compounds. The essential oil is intensity. The infusion is nourishment.

Why ETHERNAL Uses Petal Infusion

ETHERNAL was built on one conviction: beauty is not extracted. It is preserved. By using Moroccan Damask Rose petals in a slow infusion process, the oil retains the rose in its fullest expression. Each bottle carries the density of approximately seventy petals per milliliter, suspended in a carrier system designed for direct application to face, hair, and body.

This approach allows the rose to function not only as fragrance, but as antioxidant skin treatment and ritual anointment oil. The rose is not reduced to a single note. It arrives complete.
