Geranium is a flowering plant native to southern Africa, renowned for its vibrant blossoms and aromatic leaves. In perfumery, the essence is extracted from the leaves and stems through steam distillation, resulting in a fresh and lively fragrance note. Geranium is often used as a middle note, bringing a green, floral, and slightly spicy character that complements both masculine and feminine compositions, particularly in fougère and chypre families.

Geranium has a crisp, green floral aroma with rosy and slightly minty undertones. Its scent is fresh and uplifting, carrying hints of citrus and a mild spicy warmth that adds complexity. The balance of floral sweetness and herbaceous sharpness makes geranium a dynamic and versatile note in perfumery.
