Rose Crystal (10% in DPG)

• 10% dilution in DPG for convenient use
• Adds high-impact rosy brightness and projection to top and heart notes
• Ideal for bold floral, aldehydic, and modern rose accords
• Great for fine fragrances, solid perfumes, and floral mists
• Highly diffusive—use in moderation for balance and elegance

Rose Crystals (Rosone) – 10% in DPG is a pre-diluted version of the high-impact aroma chemical Rosone, known for its powerful, vibrant rosy scent with green, woody, and slightly spicy nuances. Unlike soft floral modifiers, Rosone delivers intensity and diffusion, making it ideal for bold modern rose, woody-floral, and aldehydic compositions.

This 10% dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) allows easy integration into attars, oil-based perfumes, solid perfumes, body sprays, and floral deodorants where lasting projection and sharp rosy lift are desired. It blends beautifully with Citronellol, Geraniol, Rhodinol, and aldehydes for clean, vibrant, and long-lasting floral accords.

SCENT DESCRIPTION
Rose Crystals open with a warm, diffusive rosy sweetness underpinned by a smooth, honeyed wax character that feels intimate and natural. The scent is quieter and rounder than rose absolute, lacking its sharp alcoholic brightness but offering instead a soft powdery elegance that lingers beautifully on skin and fabric. Subtle green and slightly earthy undercurrents add a naturalistic depth, evoking freshly cut rose stems warmed by afternoon sun. In a blend, they function as a gentle anchor — slowing down sharper florals and lending the composition a sense of organic warmth.

⚠️ Rose Crystals are a complex natural botanical mixture. IFRA limits may vary based on exact botanical source, composition analysis, and supplier certification. Always verify applicable limits against the current IFRA amendment and your supplier's technical documentation before production.

⚠️ Rosa damascena derivatives contain natural sensitizers including geraniol, citronellol, eugenol, and farnesol. Sensitization potential exists, particularly at elevated usage levels. Patch testing is strongly recommended before use in leave-on skin care.

Method 1 — Dissolution in Perfumer's Alcohol
Gently warm your perfumer's alcohol to 40–50°C in a water bath and add the measured Rose Crystals with slow stirring until fully dissolved. This produces a clear, ready-to-use rose solution for EDP, EDT, and alcohol-based cologne applications. Avoid direct flame or high-heat sources. Allow the solution to cool fully before evaluating the scent, as warmth temporarily amplifies the note.

Method 2 — Carrier Oil Infusion for Attars and Cosmetics
Heat your chosen carrier oil — jojoba, fractionated coconut, or sweet almond — to approximately 50°C and slowly stir in the Rose Crystals until fully incorporated. This produces a rose-infused oil base ideal for attars, solid perfumes, facial serums, and lip care products. Cool slowly at room temperature and avoid refrigeration during setting to maintain a consistent texture.

Method 3 — Direct Melt into Wax or Resin Base
For candles, bakhoor, and incense applications, melt Rose Crystals directly into your wax or resin base above their melting point. Blend thoroughly to ensure even distribution before pouring. Add near the end of the melt process — after the base reaches working temperature — to minimize aromatic loss from prolonged heat exposure.

AVOID
Avoid combining with strongly alkaline soap bases without prior testing as high pH environments may degrade aromatic esters in the wax fraction. Use caution with chlorine-based preservatives and oxidizing agents that may react with natural wax components and alter scent character over time.

Professional formulation workflow

Rose Crystal (10% in DPG) should be evaluated in a controlled small batch before production. Confirm the supplied grade, active concentration and recommended application range from the current supplier documentation. Weigh accurately instead of measuring by drops, record every adjustment, and compare the modified trial against an unchanged control.

Compatibility and quality checks

Test the ingredient in the actual alcohol, oil, surfactant, emulsion or wax base intended for sale. Observe clarity, separation, color, odor and performance immediately after mixing and again after a suitable resting period. A material that looks stable in a concentrate can behave differently in the finished formulation.

Scale-up and safety

Convert percentages into exact batch weights and verify the final consumer-product concentration before scaling. Follow the latest applicable IFRA, cosmetic, chemical and supplier safety documentation for the intended category. Use appropriate protective equipment, ventilation and clearly labeled containers, and retain a sample from every approved batch for quality comparison.
