Geranium Oil Bourbon

Geranium Bourbon essential oil comes from the island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Geranium Bourbon oil has a very rich, rosy aroma and it is preferred by many aroma therapists because it blends well with great range of different oils and because of its excellent fragrance despite having the same therapeutic properties as other types of Geranium oil. It is considered a middle note in aromatherapy. Extraction of the oil is done by steam distillation of the leaves and stalks and the result is a pale olive-green color with a sweet, leafy rosy fragrance with a minty and slightly fruity overtone.
