Could it possibly be the variety of rosewater? I believe that some
versions are meant more for cosmetic use, so might have this after-taste
you describe. I try to purchase my rosewater only from sources selling
it for culinary uses...sometimes a little more expensive, but better
tasting. I also believe that what you an get at Middle Eastern markets
is less expensive and works quite well.
