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.

What Rose Oil Teaches About Slowness

May 25

Written By Giselle Fiumara

A bottle arrives. It is small. Heavier than expected.

You lift the stopper. The first breath of rose reaches you. Real petal, faintly green, honeyed underneath. You think, this is what a rose actually smells like. You had forgotten.

You warm a drop on the back of your hand. Press your wrist to your cheek. Your skin meets the oil.

That moment is the lesson.

The petals are slow

A 30ml bottle of ETHERNAL Damask Rose Oil holds the work of more than two thousand hand-picked Rosa damascena petals from Morocco's Valley of Roses. The harvest happens once a year. The petals are infused, never distilled, with jojoba and sweet almond oil on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where time, warmth, and patience guide the process. The infusion sits for months.

When you press a drop into your skin, you are touching slow time. The kind no machine can rush, and no season can shorten.

This is what the oil is. It is also what it does.

What the first week changes

The first morning, you use too much. You always do. The body remembers a faster rhythm: pumps, squeezes, bottles that announced how much to apply.

By day three, you have learned the dose. Two drops. Sometimes three. You warm them between your palms. You press, then wait.

By day five, you have stopped checking the time.

By day seven, the ritual is teaching you something the bottle never promised. Something quieter than glow. Something steadier than radiance. A two-minute pause at the start of the day where nothing is asked of you. A two-minute pause at the end where you return to yourself.

This is the gift the petals were always carrying.

How to use it for what it is

ETHERNAL is a face oil, a body oil, a hair oil, and a perfume. It is meant to move through the day with you, and to do so with care. Here are the rituals it was made for.

Face. After cleansing, while skin is still damp. Two drops, palms together, press onto cheeks, forehead, jaw. Night and Day. Everyday.

Hair. A drop pulled through the mid-length to ends after towel-drying. Or three drops smoothed onto the scalp the night before a wash, left as a treatment.

Body. After the shower, on damp skin. Especially decolletage and inner arms, where skin thins first.

Perfume. A single drop on the wrist, behind the ear, at the base of the throat. Wait thirty seconds. The scent shifts as your skin warms it.

Ritual. Before sleep. A drop in the palms, brought to the face, eyes closed. Three breaths. Before your daily meditation or an intimate opportunity to connect with yourself and a significant one.

The thing the bottle cannot say

The bottle says: Damask Rose Oil. 30ml. Made in small batches.

What the bottle does not say is that an oil this slow asks the same of the person holding it. An oil that took half a year to infuse. A flower that opens for two weeks each May. The hands that sorted the petals one by one.

You meet it where it is.
