GERANIUM (MADAGASCAR)

Madagascar geranium can combine a rosy floral character with green, minty and spicy nuances. Biolandes describes one Madagascan material through a metallic floral accent, tea and crushed-mint effects; another technical description emphasizes rose and an aromatic, spicy side. These are different views of related materials, not a promise that every oil or perfume will show every facet equally.

A documented Madagascan oil is distilled from fresh aerial parts of Pelargonium graveolens, harvested and processed in Madagascar. The Madagascan origin identifies the source, while the individual oil and its use in a composition shape the scent. In a perfume, the leafy-minty side can stand beside the floral impression or become more prominent. Explore the note for that green-floral contrast, with the surrounding composition as your guide.
