Gingergrass

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.

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.
