Product Abstract: A native of South Africa, this
flower is unusual in that the leaves can vary widely among the different
varieties of Geranium, and they carry the fragrance of the plant, which
ranges from very strong to having little or no scent. Geranium
Essential Oil is usually used in combination with other floral essential
oils, often with Lavender or to soften more herbaceous scents; but Rose
Geranium is often used to extend the more expensive Rose oils or the
endangered Rosewood Oil when it is available. This oil is a staple for
formulators who rely on essential oils for their high-end fragrance
profiles.
