In the world of natural fragrances, few scents capture the heart quite like Ruh Gulab. Translating to “soul of the rose” in Persian, Ruh Gulab is the epitome of luxury in traditional Indian perfumery. At Aroma Monk, we pride ourselves on crafting the finest pure rose otto using ancient methods that preserve the authentic essence of Rosa damascena petals. Whether you’re seeking a natural attar for daily wear or a premium rose essential oil for aromatherapy, our Ruh Gulab stands out as a masterpiece of purity and potency.
What is Ruh Gulab? Unveiling the Essence of Damask Rose
Ruh Gulab, also known as rose otto or ruh-e-gulab, is a hydro-distilled essential oil extracted from the delicate petals of the Damask rose (Rosa damascena). Unlike modern steam distillation, authentic Ruh Gulab follows the centuries-old deg-bhapka method — a traditional process originating in Kannauj, India’s perfume capital. Freshly handpicked rose petals are placed in copper vessels (degs) with water, gently heated, and the vapor is condensed through a bamboo pipe (bhapka) into a receiver, separating the precious rose oil from rose hydrosol.
This labor-intensive technique requires thousands of kilograms of fresh rose blossoms to yield just a small amount of oil, making pure Ruh Gulab one of the most coveted and expensive fragrances in the world. At Aroma Monk, our Ruh Gulab is 100% natural, alcohol-free, and sourced ethically from the finest Indian rose fields, ensuring an ethereal, honey-sweet floral aroma that’s far superior to synthetic alternatives.
The Rich History and Cultural Significance of Ruh Gulab
The story of Ruh Gulab traces back to Mughal times, when Empress Nur Jahan reportedly discovered floating rose oil during her baths, inspiring the creation of gulab itr. For centuries, this traditional attar has been revered in Indian culture for its romantic and spiritual qualities. Used in weddings, religious ceremonies, and royal courts, Ruh Gulab symbolizes love, purity, and serenity.
Today, Aroma Monk continues this legacy by blending ancient wisdom with modern quality standards. Our Kannauj attar experts handcraft each batch, delivering a long-lasting rose perfume that evokes blooming gardens and timeless elegance.
