Geranium

Geranium is one of the most versatile and widely used ingredients in perfumery, offering a fresh, rosy-green scent with hints of mint and citrus that makes it incredibly useful in all types of compositions. The essential oil from geranium leaves has a naturally bright, slightly sharp character that captures some of the beauty of rose at a fraction of the cost, which is why it has earned the nickname "the poor man's rose." But geranium deserves appreciation far beyond being a rose substitute.

It has its own distinctive minty-green freshness that adds a lively, natural quality to fragrances. Geranium is a cornerstone of the fougère family and plays a vital role in many aromatic, floral, and green compositions.

It pairs beautifully with citrus for energizing freshness, with lavender in classic masculine structures, with rose for enhanced floral richness, with patchouli for earthy depth, and with mint for a cool, invigorating character. You will find geranium in countless fragrances across every category.
