Geranium Bourbon Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Geranium Bourbon Essential Oil is a luxurious, rosy-floral essence distilled from Pelargonium graveolens grown on Réunion Island (formerly Bourbon Island) in the Indian Ocean. Known as one of the finest and most aromatic geranium oils , it carries a rich, rosy-sweet, and slightly fruity aroma , with elegant green-herbaceous undertones.
