Rose Geranium has a lovely floral rosy aroma, with tinges of green notes to it. In perfumery, it is noted as a Middle or Heart Note. When used in a blend, the middle note is the secondary smell you notice. Rose Geranium is one of those aromas that people either love or hate, there seems to be no middle ground, which is funny because middle notes are all about balance.
What is great about blending with Rose Geranium is that whether you like it or not, you can use it to create amazing blends that have purpose and intent for healing on many levels. Rose Geranium blends well with Bergamot, Lime, Cypress, Sandalwood, Neroli, Rose, Lavender and Clove. But it matches well with pretty much every oil in the right balance. As previously written, when it comes to blending, play with your oils and see what you like and don’t. I’ve given you some suggested blends below, but feel free to adapt them to your personal smell preference. It is through play we learn more.
