About this product
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.

How to use
Diffuse a few drops, or dilute it in a carrier oil before it touches skin. Safety, as advised by Robert Tisserand: low risk of skin sensitization; it may interact with diabetes, anti-anxiety, opioid, analgesic, anticancer, HIV and other medications, as well as nicotine, so speak with your doctor first if any of these apply. Never use essential oils on cats. Store it in the dark, ideally refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller full ones.
Keep a sunny sill of roses and leaves on your shelf.
