A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.
No phototoxic furocoumarin warning was verified for this distilled rose otto in this pass.
Contraindications & cautions
- moderateRose otto may contain methyleugenol; AromaWeb cites Tisserand & Young's conservative 0.6% leave-on dermal maximum for rose oil on that basis.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
Hermitage describes this 2025 Quba-district Rosa damascena batch as a first-distillation Azerbaijani rose otto with highly realistic living-rose top notes, full-spectrum petal-to-leaf character, gourmand honey support, and about 6 hours of skin persistence from a single swipe. Batch-specific GC data were not exposed on the live product page, so quantitative composition below uses ISO 9842:2024 Rosa damascena rose-otto ranges, with matching typical values taken from The Good Scents Company's published Bulgarian rose-otto GC profile where the constituent identity matches exactly. Where ISO only gave a range and no distinct typical value, I used the documented midpoint and said so in the constituent citation. Odor intensity is normalized to the archive's 0-100 scale from AromaWeb's qualitative 'Strong' strength-of-initial-aroma rating for rose otto.

What we're still learning · 4 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- No batch-specific Azerbaijani GC profile was exposed on the live Legends product page, so quantitative composition remains a Rosa damascena reference proxy rather than a lot-specific assay.
- No public source located in this pass gives a native numeric odor_intensity score for Azerbaijani Rose Otto Legends; 80 is a normalization of AromaWeb's qualitative 'Strong' rose-otto aroma rating into the archive's 0-100 scale.
- No source-backed volatility rate was verified.
- The oxidation_risk value is an inference from the linalool/geraniol/citronellol-rich profile and known autoxidation behavior of those terpenes, not a lot-specific stability assay.
