Description
Geranium grows naturally in South Africa. Today, it is cultivated in many regions of the world. It is found in Europe, where it arrived at the end of the XVII century, in Egypt, Morocco, Madagascar, Réunion, Egypt, Guinea, Congo…Geranium has been associated with prosperity and attributed protective qualities; it was planted around houses to ward off evil spirits
Its precious essence was soon used in perfumery.
At the beginning of the XX century, opera singers used the essential oil to care for their voices and make them more powerful.
Geranium essential oil has a divisive aroma: people either like it or strongly dislike it, with no middle ground. To enjoy all its aromatic subtlety, it is best to dilute it. Its different notes can then be appreciated, particularly its delicate rose scent and light touch of citronella.
Essential oil is obtained from other geraniums from specific regions. The one from Madagascar, for example, is the Bourbon variety, while rose geranium comes from South Africa. The differences between them are very subtle.
Rose geranium offers a fresher, more citrus aroma, while Bourbon is sweeter, greener and more floral. The latter usually contains more esters than the Egyptian variety.
Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and oil. Insoluble in water
