About this material
Bulgarian Rose Replacer
A highly intricate and synthetic formulation manufactured by Firmenich to mimic the true essence of Bulgarian Rose Absolute Oil.
Likely the most comparable speciality alternative to authentic Bulgarian Rose Absolute Essential Oil.
Bulgarian Rose Absolute, is an extremely expensive and highly sought-after essential oil in the perfume and aromatic industry, mostly due to its complex and sweet floral scent.
Aromatherapists often regard Rose Bulgarian Absolute as an aphrodisiac, as well as an emollient in various skin care products.
With its rich and captivating aroma, Rose Absolute adds a touch of elegance and sensuality and the same can be said for the Bulgarian Rose Replacer.
This exceptional material is cherished for its quality.
It blends well with a variety of oils such as Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, German & Roman Chamomile, Clary Sage, Rosewood, Sandalwood, and Geranium.
Recognised for its penetrating and long-lasting floral fragrance.
If you are struggling to justify the spend on the very expensive pure material (Rosessence), then we hope that this more affordable dilution in the form of our Bulgarian Rose Replacer will allow you to experience this master creation from Firmenich without the hefty price tag of the raw material.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Petals and peel
With bergamot and a light citrus ideaExplore a brighter version of the floral character using a simple citrus counterpoint. Compare it with the unchanged flower accord and note whether the citrus frames the bloom or becomes the main subject of the sketch.
Stem and blossom
With geranium and leafy notesSketch the flower with a greener setting, keeping leaf and blossom as distinct ideas. Compare a clean floral reference with the greener version to decide how much of the imagined stem and garden belongs in the composition.
Petals over wood
With a transparent wood directionPlace the floral material against a spare wood backdrop and follow the balance through the evaluation. Try a softer wood variation separately, then choose whether your flower needs an open, airy setting or a smoother, more enveloping frame.
