Bourbon Geranium

Bourbon geranium is a rich, earthy floral note with a distinct green, herbaceous character. It is derived from the leaves of the Pelargonium graveolens plant, which is native to South Africa. The Bourbon variety is prized for its particularly robust and complex aroma.

Bourbon geranium evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and relaxation. Its earthy, herbaceous qualities make it well-suited for use in cozy, intimate fragrances that are ideal for autumn and winter wear. The note can also add depth and sophistication to floral or citrus-based scents.

Bourbon geranium is commonly used as a heart or base note in fragrances. It pairs well with other floral notes like rose, jasmine, and lavender, as well as woody and spicy accords. The note is often found in chypre, fougère, and oriental-style perfumes, where it adds depth, complexity, and an earthy, grounding quality.
