Description
Rose Geranium essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and tops of Pelargonium graveolens var. roseum, grown in Madagascar. It has a sweet, rosy and slightly herbaceous aroma that sits close to true rose, and is a balancing middle note at the heart of a blend.
Its uplifting, balancing scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with easing everyday stress and supporting a sense of emotional wellbeing, and it is a favourite for bright, cheerful diffuser blends. It is a popular, affordable alternative to rose and blends well with citrus, lavender and woods. It is a mild skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic reaction, so always dilute well and patch test first.
