Turkish rose oil

Two major species are used for oil production Rosa damascena, which yields rose otto, Bulgarian rose oil and Turkish rose oil and Rosa centifolia, which yields French rose oil or Moroccan rose oil. There are also many different subspecies. 

Cohobation also is applied in rose oil distillation. In a cohobation still, distillate waters are continuously fed into the vessel to improve the yield of oil. In rose oil distillation, distillate waters are redistilled in another still to get more oil. At the end of the season, this oil rich in phenylethyl alcohol is mixed with the first oil to produce the Turkish rose oil.
