Description
Geranium essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves, stems and flowers of Pelargonium graveolens, sourced from Egypt. It has a powerful, sweet, rosy floral aroma with a fruity undertone, and sits as a bright middle note at the heart of a blend.
Its floral, harmonising aroma is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with balance and easing everyday stress and tension, and it is a favourite in diffuser blends and room sprays with other florals, citrus and woods. It is a skin sensitiser and can seriously damage the eyes, so dilute well and keep it away from the eyes.
- Sweet, rosy floral aroma with a fruity undertone
- Bright middle note that rounds out floral and citrus blends
- Traditionally associated with balance and easing everyday tension
- Pairs well with lavender, rose, bergamot and clary sage
Blends well with: Bergamot, clary sage, jasmine, lavender, lemon, patchouli, rose, rosemary and sandalwood
