Rose Geranium, scientifically known as Pelargonium graveolens, is highly prized in the perfume industry for its nuanced aroma, reminiscent of roses with a hint of citrus and mint. This plant is native to parts of Africa but is cultivated worldwide for its essential oil, which is obtained through steam distillation of the leaves. Rose Geranium is often used to provide a floral, slightly herbal, and uplifting note to fragrances, contributing to the creation of lush, green, and rosy profiles in perfumes. It evokes feelings of balance and harmony.
Natural or Synthetic?
The natural essential oil of Rose Geranium is preferred for its authenticity and complexity, but synthetic versions are used to supplement natural oils to maintain product consistency without the high costs of pure extraction.
