Palmarosa Oil ORGANIC

Palmarosa is a tropical, reed-like grass of the sweet grass family. Its blades of grass smell like roses. Although related to lemongrass and citronella, it contains predominantly geraniol rather than citral like its relatives, which explains its rosy rather than citrusy scent. Organic Palmarosa oil is obtained from the palmarosa blades of grass by steam distillation.
