Geranium

Rosy but greener and sharper, a good bridge between floral and herbal.

The character

What Geranium actually smells like

Geranium is steam-distilled from the leaf of Pelargonium graveolens, and it occupies a genuinely useful middle ground — rosy in character but greener and sharper, bridging the floral and herbal sides of the collection.

That versatility suits bathrooms and hallways, transitional spaces where a note that isn't purely sweet or purely herbal tends to work best.

A note on safety

For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
