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.

The Art of Handcrafted Rose Oil

Apr 20

Written By Giselle Fiumara

Why one bottle of ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil is 2,100 Moroccan petals, two oils, and the slow patience of infusion. And why that is the whole point.

There is a quiet honesty to things made slowly. A letter written by hand. Light finding its way through a window at a certain hour. A single brushstroke that took a lifetime to learn. A handcrafted rose oil, drawn from real petals into real oil, for the months it takes.

ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil is made this way, the slow way, because it is the only way that gives the oil its character. Mass-produced fragrance oils skip the steps. They use synthetic rose accord, sometimes carried in a drop of essential oil, diluted in a neutral base, bottled in an afternoon. They smell like rose. They do not carry rose.

A truly handcrafted damask rose oil is a different thing entirely. Here is what that difference actually is.

Why the Moroccan Damask Rose

Of the more than 300 cultivated species of rose, only a handful are used in perfumery, and the Damask rose (Rosa damascena) is the most revered of them all. Among the world's Damask roses, those grown in the Valley of Roses in Morocco, the Dadès Valley, are regarded as the finest in the world. The altitude, the mineral-rich soil, the specific dry warmth of the valley, and generations of cultivation produce petals whose chemistry no laboratory has ever fully replicated. Over four hundred natural compounds, layered, contradictory, alive.

That is why ETHERNAL chose the Moroccan Damask rose, and nothing else.

What Handcrafted Actually Means

The word handcrafted gets used loosely. For ETHERNAL, it means three specific things.

Real petals, not a distillate. Most commercial rose oils are essential oils, steam-distilled from petals, concentrated into a single aromatic fraction, and then carried in a neutral base. ETHERNAL is not that. It is an infusion. About 2,100 real Moroccan rose petals, roughly 70 percent of the 30 ml bottle, are slow-macerated directly into the finished oil. You are not receiving an extract of the rose. You are receiving the rose.

Two oils, nothing else. The base is jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. That is the entire formulation. No fragrance oil, no alcohol, no fillers, no preservatives, no synthetic fixatives. Jojoba mirrors the skin's own sebum almost exactly, which is why the oil absorbs quickly rather than sitting on top of the skin. Sweet almond adds depth and a quiet nourishment.

Slow-macerated on the Mediterranean. The infusion is done on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where petals and oil sit together, unhurried, until the oil takes on the full character, properties, and frequency of the rose. This is not a fast process. It is not meant to be.

What a Handcrafted Rose-Infused Oil Actually Does

Because it is an infusion and not a distillate, ETHERNAL carries what a distillate cannot. The whole petal leaves its intelligence in the oil: the vitamins (A, C, E, K), the polyphenols, the flavonoids, the anthocyanins, and the subtler frequencies that live inside a living rose. What you apply to the skin is the rose itself, not a synthesized aromatic note.

ETHERNAL is a face, body, and hair oil. It moves with the one who wears it. On the face, two or three drops pressed in after cleansing as the last gesture of an evening ritual, skin waking softer by morning. Through the hair, a few drops worked into the ends at night for shine and for a scent that lingers without weighing the strands down. And across the body, along pulse points, the wrist, the neck, the décolletage, the insides of the elbows, as a ritual perfume oil that sits on the skin for hours and does not announce itself. It waits to be found.

None of these uses require a complicated routine. That is another quiet promise of a handcrafted rose-infused oil. It does several things at once, because it was made as a whole, not as a single-function product.

Why We Choose Slow

Slow maceration. 2,100 real Moroccan petals in every 30 ml bottle. Two oils, and nothing else. These are not decisions we made for the marketing of it. They are the practical reality of what it takes to produce damask rose oil that is actually made of damask roses.

When you hold a bottle of ETHERNAL open in your hand, and the first breath of rose reaches you, that is what you are breathing. Real petals. Real oils. The character, properties, and frequency of the rose, held in time.
