When it comes to floral fragrances, rose is one of those instantly recognisable notes. A timeless classic used in perfumery for centuries, the best rose essential oils can take on so many roles – from adding depth to rich, heady scents; to creating a light, uplifting floral feel. 

In fact, there’s few flowers that are as versatile in the fragrance world as roses.

But rose isn’t just a classic, floral scent. In true NEOM style, Rose Essential Oil can also have some wonderful wellbeing benefits – which is why we've expertly blended it into several of our products. 

In fact, here are three surprising benefits of rose essential oil you may not know that make it a good one to add to your home fragrance collection AND wellbeing routine…

1. The Best Rose Essential Oils Can Help To Boost Your Mood

One of the most celebrated benefits of rose essential oil is its ability to uplift your mood.

For example, a research overview from 2024 has shown that inhaling rose oil has the potential to help enhance overall feelings of joy. Its fresh, comforting aroma is perfect for boosting your mood, making it an ideal companion for hectic mornings and challenging days alike.

2. Rose Oils Can Help To Relieve Feelings Of Stress

Let’s be honest, with our fast-paced lives, stress has a way of creeping in. But the best rose essential oils can offer a soothing escape when you need it most. 

Multiple studies, like this research paper from 2019, have found that one of the benefits of using rose oil in aromatherapy can help to reduce cortisol levels. Cortisol is the hormone associated with stress in the brain, so having lower levels can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety – perfect for relaxing or when you want to wind down in the evenings.

NEOM Wellbeing top tip: next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, try adding our Moment of Calm Essential Oil Blend to create a calming atmosphere that lets you take a moment of mindfulness. And, don’t forget you can use the timer on your diffuser to breathe deeply, and release a bit of life’s chaos…

3. Rose Essential Oil Can Help To Support Your Sleep

Struggling with sleep? Rose essential oil may hold the key to a more restful night. 

Research, like this study from 2021, have found that, alongside reducing feelings of anxiety, inhaling rose essential oil can improve sleep quality and reduce sleep disturbances. This can help you get a better night’s sleep so you’ll be more prepared to face and conquer a busy day like a pro.

So, if you find yourself tossing and turning through the night, try placing our Complete Bliss Reed Diffuser in your bedroom to allow the fragrant oil help you drift into a peaceful slumber.
