Adam Michael has this to say “Geranium bourbon essential oil is considered to be the finest geranium available, contains no ‘10-epi-gamma-eudesmol’ and around 30% less ‘citronellol’. In simple terms, therapeutically its no better than the Egyptian geranium, it simply smells superior and lends itself very well towards the perfumer. Geranium bourbon is green in colour, grown in Reunion. Like the majority of flower oils, it is antidepressant and antiseptic. Geranium bourbon essential oil is also a valuable astringent and a haemostatic (it stops bleeding), which makes it very useful in treating injuries. It also promotes speedy healing. It is used in skincare, for its delightful perfume, for its astringent and antiseptic properties and for its action in balancing the production of sebum. This makes geranium bourbon valuable for skins that are excessively dry or oily, or for dry skins with oily patches. Also within the world of perfumery this material is a must for building luxury rose accords, works great in creations with green top notes, pairs especially well with carnation and generally supports fruity compositions very well.”
Handy Tip: One of geranium’s principle constituents is ‘geraniol’ which is very effective at fighting cold sores, if you feel that prickle sensation – normally the first sign of the cold sore – be sure to add a drop of geranium neat and all being well the cold sore will not develop. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards.

I have a mixed relationship with geranium. Some are nice, some I find downright revolting. This material, however, is absolutely delicious. I’m excited to experiment with its medicinal properties as well.

Cool, lightly minty and a must for building rose accords to add a more natural touch than Geraniol alone. Exceptional quality.

Snap a geranium leaf, rub it in your hands and inhale – this is exactly what you get in this oil. Delicious geranium goodness.

For me, after the initial sweetness, the colour green starts to emerge. One can practically feel the brain begin to calm down. Quite important not to over indulge in a blend, I feel.

WOW!
Best. Geranium (Bourbon). Ever.
No sharpness, no earthiness, just minty-like geranium dewy freshness (like chilling by the pool in summer). Just like the real thing. Or maybe even better.
So comforting and relaxing.

One of the best geranium oils I’ve yet to encounter, delicate yet bold and I just want to bathe in it!

A deeply enveloping and voluptuous geranium, embodying the heady beauty of red roses and crushed geranium leaves, together with woody citrus and spicy mint notes; limes, lemons, bois de rose, ginger, cloves, spearmint.
A gloriously rosy geranium, with a fulsome red rosy heart and a smooth, rounded, cool body, …as if floating on a cool shady pool, beneath a cascade of geraniums, mint and roses. Bold and beautiful, warm and cool, calming and grounding.
