Aromatic Scent: Geranium Leaf Absolute has a scent that is both sweet and herbaceous while carrying some subtle notes similar to those of Rose Geranium.
History: The plant originated in South Africa and migrated to Reunion, Madagascar, Egypt, and Morocco. The plants were introduced to European countries such as Italy, Spain, and France in the 17th century. In early times geraniums were planted around the house to help keep evil spirits at bay.
Cautions: Non-toxic, non-irritant, and generally non-sensitizing, it can cause sensitivity in some people. It should be avoided during pregnancy.
It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - becomes lost.
Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.
