## About
Brush a hand through a pot of scented geranium on a sunny sill and the air turns to roses and green leaves. This oil keeps that moment in a bottle: floral and herbal at once, and rosier than most geraniums.Rose Geranium is the rose-scented variety of the scented geranium, raised specifically for the rose-like aroma of its leaves. Ours is organic and steam-distilled from the leaves in Madagascar, and this one is unusually rosy. It is no substitute for Rose Otto, but it carries more rose than most of its kin, and it takes its place easily among the florals and woods of a perfumer's shelf.DetailsBotanical name: Pelargonium graveolens, also listed as Pelargonium roseum and Pelargonium x asperumOrigin: Madagascar, organicMethod: steam distillation of the leavesShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingBlends with: Clary Sage, Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lavender, ChamomileHow to useDiffuse a few drops, or dilute it in a carrier oil before it touches skin.
