Definicija

Rose-green, minty-herbal, and slightly citrusy. Not a rose, not a geranium in the garden sense -- pelargonium is the perfumer's geranium, and it smells of citronellol, wet leaves, and green stems.

Miris

Rosy-green, minty-herbal, and slightly metallic. Like crushing a pelargonium leaf in your palm -- the rose character appears first, then the green stems, then a minty freshness, then a faintly metallic, almost wet-stone quality from the oxides. Brighter and greener than rose. More complex than either rose or mint alone.

Teroar i poreklo

Detaljno

Pelargonium (Pelargonium graveolens and related species) is the aromatic plant that produces what the fragrance industry calls geranium essential oil. It should not be confused with garden geraniums (Geranium spp., the cranesbills) -- Pelargonium is the rose-scented species native to South Africa and widely cultivated in Reunion (Bourbon geranium), Egypt, China, and India.

The essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and stems. Its dominant compounds are citronellol (approximately 30%), geraniol (7-8%), and their esters (citronellyl formate, geranyl formate), which together create a characteristic rosy-green, minty-herbal profile. The oil also contains menthone, isomenthone, and rose oxides, adding minty and metallic qualities.

In perfumery, geranium oil from Pelargonium is a useful material available. It provides a cost-effective rose-like character (cheaper than rose absolute), a lifting green-herbal quality, and excellent blending properties. It is used across virtually all fragrance families.

The Egyptian origin (Bourbon-type geranium from Egypt) is considered the finest for perfumery: most natural in rose expression, with good citronellol-to-geraniol ratios and less minty character than Chinese oil.
