Definicija

Rosy-sweet, faintly peppery grass. Gingergrass smells like a softer, sweeter relative of citronella -- floral geraniol over a warm, grassy base, with none of ginger's heat.

Miris

Rosy-sweet from high geraniol, but rougher and grassier than palmarosa. A woody-peppery beta-caryophyllene undertone adds a wild, unpolished edge absent from clean rose geranium. Less clean than palmarosa, less clean than Pelargonium geranium, with a distinctly grassy-sweet-peppery character.

Teroar i prerada

Detaljno

Gingergrass (Cymbopogon martini var. sofia) is a grass closely related to palmarosa (C. martini var. motia). Despite its name, it has no botanical connection to ginger (Zingiber officinale). The essential oil is steam-distilled from the aerial parts and is significantly cheaper than palmarosa, with a greener, less clean character.

The volatile profile is rich in geraniol (rosy-floral, 40-60%) and geranyl acetate (fruity-floral), similar to palmarosa but with higher proportions of beta-caryophyllene (woody-peppery) and limonene (citrusy) that give it a rougher, grassier character. It reads less clean than palmarosa and less clean than rose geranium.

In perfumery, gingergrass is an economical source of natural geraniol and as a heart-note modifier in compositions needing a rosy-green impression without the cost of rose or palmarosa. It works in soaps, fresh-florals, and functional fragrances.

U parfemima

Gingergrass oil is an economical geraniol source functioning as a rosy-green heart-note modifier. Its rougher, grassier character (beta-caryophyllene, limonene) distinguishes it from palmarosa. The oil works in soaps, fresh-floral, and functional fragrances where a rosy-geraniol impression is needed at lower cost. Not a substitute for fine rose or geranium in prestige compositions.
