dōTERRA Rose Essential Oil - 5ml
dōTERRA Rose Essential Oil - 5ml
This is the neat, undiluted Rose oil — the concentrated form for anyone who already knows they love the scent and wants to diffuse it or build their own blends, rather than reach for a ready-made roll-on. A single drop goes a long way, so the small 5ml bottle lasts through plenty of diffusing sessions or homemade mixes.
doTERRA sources the petals from Rosa damascena grown in Bulgaria, the source of most of the world's rose oil, where the flowers are gathered by hand and sent for distillation quickly to preserve as much of the scent as possible. The plant simply doesn't give up much oil for the effort involved, which is why a genuine bottle of Rose costs more per millilitre than almost anything else in the range.
In a diffuser, one or two drops is usually plenty to fill a room with a warm, true rose scent. For topical use it needs diluting first, unlike the pre-mixed roll-on version, which hands you control over exactly how strong you want a homemade lotion, spray or blend to be.
Why people choose it
- A concentrated, undiluted oil for diffusing or mixing into your own blends
- Rosa damascena petals grown in Bulgaria and gathered by hand
- One of the lowest-yield oils doTERRA produces, reflected in the price per millilitre
- Full control over strength when added to a homemade lotion, spray or blend
- A little goes a long way, so a small 5ml bottle lasts through many diffuser sessions
How it smells
Deep, warm and rose-like, with a honeyed richness rather than a sharp or overly green note.
How to use it
- In a diffuser
- One to two drops in a diffuser is usually enough to fill a room with a warm, rose scent.
- On skin
- Dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin — unlike the roll-on version, this neat oil needs mixing first.
- Dilution
- One drop of Rose to four drops of fractionated coconut oil for topical use.
- Worth knowing
- Because it's undiluted, a small amount stretches a long way in both a diffuser and a homemade blend.

Common questions
Should I buy the neat oil or the Rose Touch roll-on?
If you want to diffuse it or mix your own blends, lotions or sprays, the neat oil gives you that control. The Touch roll-on suits anyone who just wants to dab it straight onto skin with nothing to measure.
Why is Rose so much more expensive than most oils?
The petals give up very little oil for the amount that goes in, so a genuine bottle costs more per millilitre than almost any other oil in the range.
Do I need to dilute it before applying to skin?
Yes — this is the concentrated neat oil, so it needs mixing with a carrier oil first, unlike the pre-diluted Touch roll-on.
How much should I use in a diffuser?
One or two drops is usually plenty. It's a strong, rich aroma that fills a room easily.
Where does doTERRA's Rose come from?
Bulgaria, where the petals are gathered by hand and distilled quickly to capture as much of the aroma as possible.
