True Geranium Oil is steam-distilled from Pelargonium graveolens, the rose-scented geranium. Its aroma lands rosy, green, and lively: crushed leaves wrapped around a rose heart, with minty and citrusy glints. Think of it as the rose of leaves, floral and fresh in equal measure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is this geranium oil sold as? ▾
True Geranium Oil is sold as botanical grade. Our published Certificate of Analysis is available for review on this site. If you need specifics about the oil before ordering, contact us and we will gladly answer.
Which plant does this oil come from? ▾
It comes from Pelargonium graveolens, the rose-scented geranium, and it is distilled from the leaves and stems. Buyers often mix it up with rose oil because the aroma is so convincingly rosy, but this is a leaf oil from a different plant entirely.
What does geranium oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
Think fresh crushed leaves wrapped around a rose heart, with minty and citrusy glints that keep it lively. It partners naturally with bergamot, lavender, sandalwood, and clary sage, and it can stand in for rose in many recipes.
How should I dilute it for skin use? ▾
For skin use, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil, which works out to roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test on a small area first, and keep the oil away from your eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
We offer nine sizes, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs. Bulk orders are welcome, and formulators, makers, and resellers all buy from the same standard.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as you move up in size. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so stepping up makes good sense once you know how much of the oil you will use.
Is lab documentation included with bulk orders? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for a bulk order, contact us before ordering and we will do our best to help.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Start with 0.5 oz or 1 oz to get to know the scent. For regular diffuser, skincare, or soap work, 2 oz to 8 oz is a comfortable range. Makers and small producers often move up to 16 oz or 5 lbs, with 25 lbs and 400 lbs for production and resale.
How does shipping work? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so contact us if you are working to a deadline. Checkout is through our Shopify store.
Why is geranium called the great impersonator of perfumery? ▾
It is a leaf oil that smells convincingly of roses, so perfumers and makers reach for it to bring rose character to soaps, creams, linen sprays, and floral diffuser blends, all without the price of rose otto.
