Geranium Bourbon Essential Oil
Couldn't load pickup availability
Geranium Bourbon essential oil is the most prized among all varieties of Geranium oils. It is renowned for its distinctive rose-like aroma combined with a gentle, spicy-peppery undertone. The scent carries pronounced green nuances, a soft earthy character, a slight creamy touch, and a faint metallic hint.
This essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and stems of the plant. Harvest season typically falls around February each year, after the blooming period ends. It takes about 200 kg of plant material and one to three days of continuous distillation to produce 1 kg of Geranium oil.
Often called the rose scent for men, Geranium’s rose facet is strong, fresh, and vibrant—different from the tender, romantic tone of traditional rose oils. In aromatherapy, Geranium is valued for its ability to relieve stress, depression, pain, and inflammation, as well as its antibacterial and acne-fighting properties.

Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?
Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.
Can pregnant women use essential oils?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.
What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?
Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.
How can I ensure that the essential oil is pure?
Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.
