About this material
Geranium Absolute opens with a bright, green, and slightly rosy scent that is immediately refreshing. As it develops, the initial brightness gives way to a more complex, herbaceous character with earthy undertones, adding depth to the overall profile. This material is versatile and works well in a variety of compositions, providing a natural floral quality that can enhance both floral and citrus accords. It pairs nicely with citrus oils like bergamot and lemon, as well as with woody notes to create a balanced blend. In this catalogue, it is typically used at doses ranging from 0.090% to 1.10%, with a common usage around 0.350%.
