Why brands choose it

• Rose scent at a friendlier profile, handy when rose oil is too costly for a range.
• Green edge keeps a floral blend from smelling too sweet.
• Works in creams, bath products, perfumes and candles.

How it is used

Add it to lotions, creams, soap bases and wax at low levels. Mix into the oil phase of creams, then smell the finished product once cool.

Make it yours

Pair it with palmarosa, lavender or bergamot for a rosy blend, and choose how green or sweet it should feel.
