Handmade Rose Oil

How I Made My Own Delicate and Fragrant Rose Petal Oil - for Face and Body. Step-by-step recipe and personal story.

I had a rose. A real one. Not from a store, but a garden one – with a scent that lingers on your fingers. And I thought: what if I could hold it? Not in a vase. Not in a photo. But in oil – so that I could touch myself later, and remember that summer again. That’s how I made my own rose oil for the first time .

✿ What you need:

• fresh fragrant rose petals (no chemicals) - 1 cup

• oil: jojoba or grape seed - 100 ml

• clean glass jar with lid

• patience and light

✿ How I did it (slow way):

1. I poured the petals into the jar (not tightly)

2. I poured oil on it to cover it completely.

3. I put it on the windowsill where the morning sun is.

4. I shook it every day

5. After 3 weeks I strained it and filled it with fresh petals again.

6. The second time the infusion lasted another 10 days.

7. The result is oil - not bright , but subtle. Restrained aroma, like an aftertaste.

I keep it in a glass. Sometimes I put it on my wrists. Sometimes in cream. But more often I just open it, inhale, and feel calm .
