Geranium Essential Oil

Balancing. Uplifting. Naturally Radiant.

Our Geranium Essential Oil is exquisitely steam-distilled from the lush green leaves and delicate flowering tops of the Pelargonium x asperum plant (also known as Pelargonium graveolens). This vibrant perennial stores its aromatic compounds in tiny specialized glands, released when the leaves are crushed—resulting in an essential oil with a fresh, lemony-rosy scent, softened by rich green and herbaceous undertones.

A Botanical Treasure From Around the World

Native to parts of the eastern Mediterranean and southern Africa, Geranium has found a home in diverse regions such as Réunion Island, France, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Egypt, and China—the latter now being the world’s largest producer. With harvest seasons stretching from March to September, Geranium Oil is a globally treasured botanical known for its superior fragrance and therapeutic qualities.

Aromatic Profile

Top Notes: Fresh, citrusy, slightly minty
Middle Notes: Rosy, floral, herbaceous
Base Notes: Soft green, slightly earthy

Its complex and harmonious scent makes it a staple in luxury perfumery, blending beautifully into rose compositions, fougères, chypres, colognes, and floral or fantasy fragrances.
