The History of the Bulgarian Rose Oil

 

This is the original form in which during the early days of the rose oil trade the muskals, on the picture, were used to demonstrate the quality of the oil without compromising the large vessels (concums). A small sample like this one was attached to the neck of the concum. This is the practice  even today.
