Latin
name: Pelargonium graveoleus.
Smell:
Vibrant, 'green', lemon-rose, minty.
Geranium
can help to relieve nervous tension and depression, and blends well with many other oils. The combination of geranium and
lavender is particularly effective and, used in a bath, can help you to unwind after a busy day. The scent of geranium can
linger for hours, so it is useful for fragrancing bathrooms.
The
oil is steam-distilled from the leaves, stalks and flowers of the perennial hairy pelargonium. Take care if you are allergic
to the fresh plant.
