Mythological Story of Rose

The most famous story of Rose (Desi Gulab) was authored by Emperor Jahangir himself (1605-1627) in his autobiographical work, Tuzuki Jahangiri where he mentions an incident of Asmat Begam, the mother of his wife Nur Jahan, making rose water and noticing “a thick mass on the surface of pots where hot rose water was poured from jugs”. Asmat collected the mass and finally realized that it was so rich “that a single drop of it rubbed into the palm filled the air with an enchanting scent of tons of red roses blooming simultaneously”. Jahangir was charmed by this delightful fragrance and exclaimed that there is no other scent that could compare to it. He claimed it lifts the spirit and refreshes the soul.

When applied onto the skin, rose water for the face and other rose infused skincare products tone, diminishes fine lines and deeply hydrate the skin. These benefits of Rose water and Rose Essential Oil have been passed on with generations and has always been the best solution to nourish dry skin. At Forest Essentials, the Rose Water we use is prepared from steam distillation, in which the Rose’s most vivid and soft petals are used to extract its essential oil. The intense strain of the residual floral water from this process is extremely light, naturally hydrating and fragrant.
