Best rose incense

Flowers are a popular source for perfume and incense, and rose, with its rich, heady scent, is a very common choice. Gulab is the name in Persian and Hindi for rose. Rose scent, such as rose petals in water, and rose scented sweets, such as Turkish delight, have long been popular in countries associated with the Persian Empire.  Most rose scents are based on the damask rose, which is the main rose distilled for attars and essential oils. Synthetic rose scents combine several ingredients in order to replicate the complex natural fragrance of the damask rose.
