Rose Ottos and Absolutes

[churchilllafemme]

I'm interested in getting a little rose otto or absolute, for mixing into unscented shaving cream and soap lathers and with some aftershaves, but I have never used any and have no idea which companies produce the best. If anyone here has experience using any of them, I would appreciate hearing about which you think are the best.

Thanks.

Well, following advice from Frank Lipani (Ethos Grooming) and others, I ordered from Eden Botanicals the following:

Rose Hydrosol 8oz
Rose Absolute, Bulgaria 1ml
Rose Absolute, Morocco 1ml
Rose Absolute Trilogy (Bulgaria, Morocco, Turkey) 1ml
Rose Essence Oil (Bulgarian and Moroccan Roses, with Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Rose Geranium, Fossilized Amber, Patchouli and several Sandalwoods) 1ml free sample
Rose Geranium Oil 1ml free sample

I am going to divide the hydrosol into 50ml bottles, then try adding 1 drop of each of the absolutes to different bottles and use the mixes in some lathers. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with the free samples.
