Prescented are likely scented with synthetic fragrances which are questionable in terms of health effects. If I were to do this rose essential oil for myself I’d just put a few drops on the collar of the shirt I am wearing that day.

I started rose scent experiment yesterday. Used a panty liner, soaked it in rose water (from a grocery store), applied it to my headboard near pillow. The scent lasted over night and I still can smell it almost 24 h later.
My dog did not like it and slept on the floor.

How interesting. I just got back from Istanbul, and in addition to buying Rapamune there, I also bought some rose essential oil, or rather, paste, from a natural herbs and spices store away from the tourist areas. It’s quite thick. Suuuuuuper fragrant. I put a little fingernail of it into a big tub of scentless Cetaphil skin cream, and the cream smells like fresh roses now. I also like a drop or two on my wrist, it wafts around gently all day, and if I want a boost I can sniff my wrist. Before this Turkish purchase I bought Bulgarian damask oil, it’s much more liquid but also delicious-smelling. My sensitive skin likes it.
I didn’t have longevity in mind, I am just addicted to the little bursts of pleasure that the lovely smell of roses gives me during the day. Pure happiness. I like it more than my other perfumes. Wearing scents isn’t new for me, but rose oil is fairly recent.
