## About
A stand of tall grass in the heat of the day, and on the breeze, something that smells unaccountably of roses. Palma Rosa is that small wonder: a grass whose oil smells like a blend of Rose and Geranium.It is steam-distilled from the wildcrafted flowering grass of Cymbopogon martini in Nepal. The resemblance is close enough that Palma Rosa is sometimes sold as Rose Geranium, so check the Latin name on any Rose Geranium you buy. In a blend it emphasizes the scent of rose, sits beautifully with Geranium and works well with Lavender.DetailsBotanical name: Cymbopogon martiniPlant part: flowering grass, wildcraftedMethod: steam distillationOrigin: NepalShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingBlends with: Fennel, Lavender, Lemon, Orange, Patchouli, SandalwoodHow to useUse it to round out a rose blend, or add it to your own skin care and perfume blends.
