Origin
The planting of various fragrant flowers to get perfume including rose water may come from Sassanid Persia. The locale is known as the goal? B in Central Persia, and like zoulÃÆ'¡pin in Greek Byzantine.
The modern mass production of rose water through steam distillation was refined by the Persian Avicenna chemist in the medieval Islamic world which led to the use of a more efficient and economical perfume economy. This allows more efficient and profitable trading.
Since ancient times, roses have been used as medicine, nutrition, and as a source of perfume. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians regarded a large public rose garden as important as agricultural land such as gardens and wheat fields.
The rose perfume is made of rose oil, also called the attar rose, which is a volatile volatile oil mixture obtained by distilling the crushed rose petals vapor, a process first developed in Iran (Persia). Rose water is a by-product of this process.
