A beautiful scent when blended with other eo's such as Roswood, it can bring out the other blends so well, giving it just the right amount of floral scent (without having to buy the more expensive eo's such as rose absolute.

Got my shipment very fast~ great delivery service! This is my first time smelling rose geranium S. Africa...... I would say that it's a beautiful flora and citrus-ish scent. :) One of my new favorites! I now understand why people say it's sometimes used to extend the rose scent. Rose geranium is floral at the same time "energetic"? It has that crispness that most floral scents don't. Be careful to scent it in tiny amounts since it can easily become overwhelming.

The scent is similar to Geranium, but not as heady and strong and it has something else, depth... can't quite put my finger on it. Nice oil.
