| Colorless or yellow viscous volatile essential oil with the characteristic aroma and taste of roses. At 25°C, it is a viscous liquid; upon further cooling, it gradually turns into a semi-translucent crystalline mass, which can be liquefied again when heated. Soluble in ethanol and most non-volatile oils, very slightly soluble in water. | |||||||||
