One of the oldest and best known of all the essential oils, rose otto has a powerful effect on the emotions and the spirit, bringing harmony and peace while dispelling fear and tension. The potent aroma of rose is associated with many emotional rites and practices — it corresponds with feelings of romance and joy.
