The composition

Geranium’s rose scent is not in its flowers, but in its leaves. Distilled in Madagascar, this oil has a rich, balanced and particularly refined profile, and is one of the classic building blocks for constructing and sustaining rose accords.

+ 01 — Origin and botany

Perfumery geranium is a Pelargonium of the Geraniaceae family, related to balcony geraniums. Pelargonium graveolens is native to southern Africa: South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

Many plants grown under this name are actually hybrids, probably with P. capitatum or P. radens, and the oil is sold as P. graveolens whatever its exact botanical origin. The aromatic glands are in the leaves.

+ 02 — Extraction and production

The leaves and stems are steam-distilled. The main components of geranium oil are rose-scented alcohols such as citronellol and geraniol, the same ones found in rose oil.

+ 03 — Olfactory profile

The neat oil. Rich, balanced and refined, floral and rosy in character.

+ 04 — Uses in perfumery
  • Rose accords: reinforces and extends natural rose, with which it shares components.
  • Fougères and aromatics: links lavender with floral notes.
  • Florals: adds body at a more affordable cost than rose.
