Description
Cymbopogon martinii - origin India, grass, steam distilledThe plant kingdom offers many wonders, including this Indian grass that smells like roses. Palmarosa has also been called "Indian Geranium" because of its similarities to geranium oil, but Palmarosa is actually related to Lemongrass and Citronella.
With the price of true Rose Otto at ever growing highs it is a great time to discover this affordable mimic. In the days before GC/MS chemical testing Palmarosa was commonly used to adulterate rose oil and increase profits on that more precious oil. Unsuspecting buyers without fancy equipment to detect inappropriate chemical inclusions had little chance of knowing the difference by smell alone.
Geraniol is the dominant chemical constituent in this oil. The oil is pale yellow, and this particular varietal we have brought in has a beautifully mellow aroma that is one of the most floral we have tried. The sharper citrus notes that can sometimes betray a lesser quality palmarosa are subdued in this oil, which allows the rosy qualities to truly dominate.
This oil is broadly useful for perfumery applications, skincare, and balancing the nervous system. All skin types can benefit from using this oil in facial and body treatments to stimulate skin repair, balance sebum production, and maintain radiant health.
Palmarosa essential oil is nontoxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing.
Blending: This oil is considered a top note. Palmarosa blends well with Lavender, Rose, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Petitgrain and other floral oils. It also blends seamlessly with citrus oils like Bergamot, Mandarin, and Grapefruit. Ginger and Cardamon make intoxicatingly delightful, spicy companions. Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Labdanum make good base notes with this aroma. Try with Spearmint for an unexpected, fresh combination.
