Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi, all. I picked up a tiny vial of rose oil at the NAHA show, but when I went to try some I found it had turned to a gel-like form. The bottle (small as it was) looked empty at first, and with that price tag, I was about to flip, but then I could see there was a substance in there that looked like an EO that had dehydrated. The vial isn't full by any means, but I would like to get whatever I can out of it. Any suggestions? Is this common with rose oil or did I just get a bad batch?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Ah-hah! I didn't know you meant just warm it a LITTLE, Ann! I found a reference in a perfumery book that says rose otto is semi- solid at room temp but 'liquefies with the slightest warmth.' Sure enough, I held my vial in my hand for about 2 minutes and it is now a full bottle of liquid rose!! I'm so happy! Live and learn, right?
