 Geranium Essential Oil has constituents -- geraniol, linalol and citronellol that are also present in rose oil. It's not surprising that the aroma of geranium resembles that of rose with a musty, minty-green undertone. Geranium oil has been described as a natural perfume complete unto itself. The main geranium oil-producing regions of the world are found on the African continent, Russia, and China. Russian and Chinese geranium oils tend to have a greener, fresh-rosy aroma while Egyptian oils tend to be heavier and darker. Geranium oil is distilled from the above-ground parts of the plant. Most of the geranium essential oil glands are found in its leaves. After cutting, the plants are partially dried to increase the yield of oil, which in turn decreases the amount of water that will be vapourized and extracted from the plant material during the distillation. On an emotional level, geranium promotes stability and balance.
