Question for Butch - Rose otto

[Guest guest]

Hi Butch,

Speaking of Rose Otto, I think you mentioned some time ago rose otto

from certain regions tends to be of lesser quality (Russian rose). I

have smelled several kinds, but I have not had the opportunity to test

as many rose ottos as I would like, so I would say I am still learning

about them (I will be a student for most of my career - never want to

stop learning!) - and yes, as I have opportunity to smell the better

stuff I can appreciate the difference! Other than instinctually

detecting a more " fine " odor, can you pass along what would constitute

the odor of a good quality rose otto as opposed to a lesser one? How

about the appearance (such as solidifying in cold temps)? Certainly,

experience is the best teacher...

Thanks!!
