Bath & Wellness
€16.00
Cold-pressed with Damascus rose oil from Agros and geranium from the distillery's own garden. The soap maker cures each batch for six weeks — longer than most commercial producers bother with — which produces a harder, longer-lasting bar. Genuinely moisturising, not just scented. Wrapped in waxed paper with a pressed rose petal.
Agros, Cyprus
The village of Agros has been distilling Damascus roses since the nineteenth century. The petals are collected at dawn when their oil content peaks, then steam-distilled within hours. One litre of rose water requires roughly four thousand petals — which explains both the price and the extraordinary potency.
