🌿 Introduction Roselle Essential Oil — distilled from the calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa (known in Thailand as กระเจี๊ยบแดง — Krajeab Daeng) — is a bright, fruity-floral and slightly tart essential oil that beautifully captures the essence of tropical vitality. Its aroma is juicy, tangy, and lightly floral, with notes reminiscent of red berries, hibiscus tea, and sun-dried petals. Both refreshing and sensual, Roselle brings an energizing, modern twist to natural perfumery — radiant like a burst of ruby sunlight in a tropical garden. At Herbsmetics, Roselle Essential Oil is presented in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket as a symbol of tropical joy and creative freshness, teaching guests how fruit-floral notes can express vibrancy, playfulness, and sensual natural balance. 🌸 Aroma Profile Top Notes: Bright, fruity-tart, and citrus-like. Heart Notes: Floral, berry-like, and gently sweet — reminiscent of red currant and hibiscus tea. Base Nuance: Soft, warm, and slightly musky. Roselle’s aroma adds a fresh, lively sparkle to natural blends — ideal for energizing, youthful, and modern compositions. 🌍 Origins & Cultural Heritage Origin: Native to Africa, now cultivated across Thailand, India, and tropical regions worldwide.
