"Geranium Rose" Essential Oil

When you are talking about true essential oils, there is Geranium oil and then there is Rose oil, the two should not be confused and the terms really should not be combined together. I sell this oil because people use the term "Rose Geranium" or "Geranium Rose" to refer to the oil coming from Pelargonium roseum which comes from Madagascar (and a few other places) and is chemically very similar to P. graveolens (a true Geranium oil – See Geranium Egypt) but typically has a slightly rosier scent.

So if you want to purchase a true geranium oil you should get the Pelargonium Graveolens. However, this oil ( P. roseum ) is a pure essential oil from the Geranium family and, as stated above, is very similar to the true geranium oil and has great aromatic properties.

Do not confuse this oil with Geranium Rose Compound which is a mixture of Geranium and Rose constituents. Geranium Rose Compound has no botanical name.
