🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Geranium Bourbon (Pelargonium graveolens Bourbon type) is the gold standard of geranium oils. It presents a complex middle-to-top note characterized by a rich, sweet, deeply herbaceous-rosy profile, accented by distinct minty undertones and subtle, sparkling green-fruity top notes. Unlike common Egyptian or Chinese geranium oils, Bourbon geranium boasts a higher concentration of rhodinol and geraniol, giving it a rounder, softer, more authentic rose-like dry-down. This makes it an indispensable raw material for fine fragrances (specifically in fougère, floral, and oriental accords), high-end cosmetics (sebum-balancing, anti-aging skincare), professional aromatherapy, premium personal care, luxury candles, and artisanal soap manufacturing.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Our Geranium Oil Bourbon is highly versatile and behaves predictably in various formulation environments:

• Fine Fragrance Accords: Acts as a magnificent bridge note in luxury perfumery. Combine with Bergamot, Lavender, and Oakmoss at 2% to 5% concentration to create classic Fougère accords, or blend with Rosa Damascena and Sandalwood for rich floral-oriental bases.
• Skincare & Cosmetic Formulations: For sebum-regulating and regenerative creams, incorporate at 0.2% to 1.0% dilution. It is highly effective in formulations targeting mature, acne-prone, or sensitive skin due to its natural cicatrisant and balancing properties.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness Blends: To formulate soothing or anti-stress massage oils, blend 1.5% to 2% Geranium Bourbon with a stable carrier oil like Jojoba or Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (MCT).
• Industrial Soap & Candle Making: For cold-process soaps, use at 3% of total oil weight. Its high ester content ensures excellent scent retention and compatibility with saponification processes without accelerating trace.
