The Rose of Leaves
Geranium essential oil is the great impersonator of perfumery, a leaf oil that smells convincingly of roses. Steam-distilled from Pelargonium graveolens, with the Bourbon type from Reunion Island setting the standard, it brings green-rosy elegance to skincare and scent work alike.
Shop True Geranium OilTrue geranium essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and stems of Pelargonium graveolens, the rose-scented geranium. The most prized material, Bourbon geranium, traces to the volcanic soils of Reunion Island, though Egypt and China now grow much of the world's supply.
The scent is rosy and green at once: fresh crushed leaves wrapped around a rose heart, with minty and citrusy glints that keep it lively. Geranium partners naturally with bergamot, lavender, sandalwood, and clary sage, and it substitutes for rose in countless recipes.
Geranium stars in diluted facial and body oils within balancing-style skincare rituals, gives handmade soaps and creams a rosy signature, freshens linen sprays, and rounds out floral diffuser blends without the price of rose otto.
