Product Description

Pure Geranium Oil is a natural botanical essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Pelargonium graveolens. It is widely known in fragrance industry as "poor man's rose"for its convincing rose-like aroma, yet it carries unique green and minty character that differentiates it from rose oil.

The aroma evolves gradually: top note presents fresh cut green leaf scent; middle note blooms with soft, rounded rose sweetness; dry-down retains mild herbaceous and faintly minty lingering aroma. Its main marker constituents are citronellol and geraniol, which define its signature odor profile.

FAQ

Q1: What makes pure geranium oil different from rose oil in fragrance formulation?

A1: Geranium oil delivers rose-like sweetness with fresh green-minty undertone, while rose oil features deeper honeyed floral aroma. Geranium serves as an affordable middle-note harmonizer to support rose accords and reduce formulation cost.

Q2: Why does the color of geranium oil vary slightly between batches?

A2: Color variation comes from harvest time, growing region and raw leaf maturity. Natural geranium oil will slowly turn darker amber upon long-term oxidation, which is typical natural property and not quality defect if within specification.

Q3: What is the key marker compound used to verify its authenticity?

A3: Citronellol is the primary marker component, together with geraniol. GC analysis of these two components can confirm genuine Pelargonium graveolens origin and rule out adulteration.

Q4: Is geranium oil miscible with carrier oils and ethanol?

A4: It is fully soluble in fatty carrier oils and ethanol; insoluble in pure water. It shows clear solubility in 70% aqueous ethanol as stated in specification.

Q5: Can it be blended with woody essential oils?

A5: Yes. It has excellent harmonizing power, pairs well with cedarwood, patchouli, guaiacwood and amyris oil to build warm floral-woody compositions.

Q6: What will happen if the oil is stored under high temperature?

A6: High heat accelerates oxidation, leading to color darkening, acid value rise and weakening of fresh green top notes, the minty-rose character will degrade gradually.

Q7: What is IFRA compliance status for this geranium oil?

A7: This natural geranium oil meets IFRA standard requirements, suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetic and perfume applications with proper risk assessment.

Q8: What is the odor tenacity feature of geranium oil?

A8: It has medium tenacity. The sweet rose heart note lasts well, while the bright green minty top note evaporates relatively fast; it works best as middle note rather than long-lasting base note.
