It is a true geranium, but a different plant from the rose geranium (\u003cem\u003ePelargonium graveolens\u003c\/em\u003e) of familiar essential oils, and its scent is less sweet and more grounded. This CO₂ wax is extracted from the rhizomes and offers a rare chance to work with it in concentrated form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied here in its pure, undiluted, solid wax form — exactly as extracted, with no carrier of any kind added.

It opens with herbal, geranium-like notes, then unfolds into spicy, resinous depths and dries down into a warm, grounding and subtly masculine finish. Refined yet robust, it is less sweet than rose geranium and more grounded than standard geranium oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValued as a fixative and base note, bridging floral hearts and resinous bases in floral, oriental and woody compositions.
