Geranium Leaves
Geranium leaves are a fresh and green fragrance note with a slightly floral, rosy scent profile that carries subtle herbaceous and minty undertones. Their aroma is crisp, uplifting, and slightly spicy, adding a natural and vibrant quality to perfumes. Geranium leaves impart a green, leafy character and are often used as a middle note to bring freshness and depth to fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with floral, citrus, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, lively, and full of character.
History & Production: Geranium leaves, from the Pelargonium species, are widely used in perfumery for their aromatic qualities. The essential oil, often called geranium oil, is extracted through steam distillation of the leaves, capturing their fresh, green, and slightly floral scent. Geranium leaves are valued for their ability to add a balanced, natural depth that enhances the freshness and complexity of fragrances, evoking a sense of vitality and botanical beauty.
