Description ❯ Geranium Egypt Essential Oil has a fresh green floral aroma with rose-like lift, leafy stem, soft herb, and gentle sweetness. It is less rich and intensely rosy than Bourbon Geranium, making it feel cleaner, brighter, and more everyday in soaps and personal care formulations. The first impression is fresh, leafy, and clearly geranium-like. With time, the sharper green edge softens into a lighter rose-floral trace that works well in soaps, creams, lotions, facial oils, body oils, bath products, diffusers, and floral-herbal blends.

Freshly distilled Geranium Bourbon Oil has a very peculiar, rather obnoxious topnote which is partly due to dimethyl sulfide. The latter is probably not present as such in the leaves, but is produced during the rapid decaying of the plant material immediately prior to the field distillation. The unpleasant topnote will disappear after proper aeration or ageing of the oil, or when the oil is filtered or decanted. The color of the oil is then greenish-olive to almost brownish green. Later on, the green color fades, and the oil becomes more yellow when old. Its odor is very powerful: green, leafy-rosy, with a pronounced fruity-minty undertone and a rich, long-lasting, swect-rosy dryout. As for the flavor of geranium oil, although the oil is very rarely used in flavors at all, it is worthwhile mentioning that it has a bitter taste, rather herbaceous and not at all pleasant as such. It is used sparingly in combina- tion with rich and sweet flavor materials, e.g. in the classic “sen-sen” type of flavors: with ionones, artificial musks, vanillin, bergamot oil, patchouli
