The delicate, uplifting aroma is very close to a true heirloom rose.

3. Briar Rose smells just like rose, but at a fraction of the cost! We love this one. It can easily be worn as perfume and it really relaxes anyone who smells it. I find that people like to hang out by me to enjoy it. Not only is it nice smelling, but it is great for anyone who is grieving a loss of any sort. - Sandy 4. I use Briar Rose to help with issues that cause the body to tense against the rise of emotions, particularly sadness, grief, loss and fear (trapezius and neck muscles). We use Adagio on the back of the shoulders and neck, with special attention to the trigger points in the middle of the trapezius muscles. I also dilute Briar Rose into a spray bottle at 10% with Jojoba oil. It works right away, and full relief usually comes within 5 minutes or so, plus it smells really, really nice! My husband uses this one a lot. - Sara
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
