Since this is Pelargonium graveolens, does it have a rose scent to it? i.e. is it the same as the "Rose Geranium" oils offered?

I have a bottle of NOW p. graveolens that isn't quite as rosy as some of the others that are marketed as rose geranium. Many perfumers run the oil through roses to obtain a more rosy scent. I have been make rose geranium soap for a few years, and use a combination of the oils. None of them have quite the same scent since preparation makes all the difference. However, I have found the soap is a great anti-depressant and insect repellant, and it supports female function. We have ticks in our area and not one has dropped from the trees onto me this year, but I've heard a lot of other people in our area complain about the number of ticks. NOW brand is a true geranium scent. Essential Depot has one that is more rosy, but it is expensive. I use a combination of both to make soap. Rose essential oil is expensive.

Geranium is a group of 400+ subspecies. Several of those species bear the name "Rose Geranium", including this one (Pergalonium Graveolens) and the more common "Pelargonium Odoratissimum" (sometimes called "Pelargonium Odorantissium"). The Graveolens variety, which is cultivated, may have a variety of smells. However, the most widely commercialized varieties are those with rose scents. This one included.

It does smell very similar to rose to me. I love the scent! But, since I've not had occasion to try the Rose Geranium, I really cannot compare.

Yes, it has a light, wonderful Rose scent. It adds a light sweet flavor to baked goods and the light aroma stays with it. Yummy French Macarons.

I found that bees are interested in the smell, but was never stung by a bee even though I wore the rose geranium all day while gardening or hiking. For me, it works well. Warm wishes, Tali

No perfume. It has natural and organic ingredients like rosehip oil. A subtle orangish smell that is pleasant but no perfume.

I am not sure what sea berry smells like but this is the seed oil, not the berry oil. It is not a pleasant smell and not one the I would use in a scented soap. I used this oil on my face and I do it at bedtime in part because the scent (to me) is strong and not something I'd want to smell on my face all day. I know that this is ingestible but again, because of the scent, I haven't gotten the nerves up to taste it!

Mine smelled like roses in fact too much roses. I'm not into flowery smells, but I bought it for its purpose of toning my skin and removing dark circles under the eyes.

I've not compared the two, so I can't answer your question. However, I chose this scent as I've enjoyed a few products for which the common oil is geranium oil. It is a very strong scent and can be overpowering if using more than a mere drop in a blend of fragrances. Don't know about bourbon geranium oil. Hope this helps.

Pure Rosehip Oil has an earthy non rose scent, it just does. Adding any number of Essential oils (make sure they are 100% pure high quality) will help the scent as well as add to the beneficial effects. Geranium or Rose Geranium is a good one that isn't as expensive as pure Rose EO but there are others that are beneficial for the skin some particularly good for particular purposes. They say you get the benefit of Rose essential oil by using Rosehip seed oil with significant savings.

It has a scent that I would not describe as pleasant, but it's not terrible. I would still encourage you to make a soap containing buckthorn seed oil because of the benefits it has on dry skin and rosacea, but I would find the scent you are looking for somewhere else.

No, not at all. It is fairly mild compared to say TOBS sandalwood or other scents. I notice it when I shave, but my wife says she does not smell it, and any woman who has asked liked the scent.

Yes, wonderful floral scent. When I walk into a room with the diffuser, it's like walking into a garden. I love it and am about to reorder. I think it's been about 3 or 4 months since I got it so it lasts.

Very, very slight, but then it's rose geranium. It's a very beneficial and nice essential oil!

This one doesn't have a scent, but in some Devita products you can lightly smell the pure essential oils which are also medicinal, but not any of their products contain synthetic fragrances. The only product of theirs that seems to have a lot of essential oil fragrance is the Moroccan Rose Facial Toner (another good product of theirs).

According to my search on the web. This is unrefined and comes from the rose bush and is extracted from the seeds using the coldpress method. And there are also several things to look for since there are so many oils in the market. I hope to have been of some service to you.

That doesn't sound right, to me. Mine has a light, floral scent. Pleasant, definitely not what I would describe as rancid.
