You have just got to try this! It is so strong, and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. I love it and so does everyone else around me! It is a very expensive scent, at an extremely economical price.
About a year ago we used 2 ml to scent a just over a pound of melt and pour, and that was plenty. We did add some of Camden's Moroccan red clay, which may have worked as a fixitive though, too.
My mom loves the little soaps, and wont let anyone use them, lol. She has them in a dish in her bathing room. I went to visit her last week for Christmas, and I could still smell the soap! It smells nearly as wonderful as it did to begin with :) (By the way, I don't normally use m&p, the kids were making it for Grandma).
I have also been using it in tiny quanities in facial and massage oils. I love it!!!! It does smell like roses, but better. It is beautiful, and it makes me happy.
If you do decide to try it, which you really should, remember to dilute it well. It can be over powering, and at first I thought it was too much. Once I realized how potent it was, and how to dilute it better, I fell strait in love <3

Sweet, slightly floral, and herbal, a great green scent. In lotions and solid lotion bars, it works great. I have yet to try it in CP soap since I am concerned the delicacies of the scent will be lost.

I have purchased Geranium eo from many different suppliers and for many years now but this is hands down the most beautiful Geranium and rightly priced!

This oil smells just like roses, without the nasty high price. I am not a fan of rose scents, but my customers that are love this one. Very rich, and deep.

My best seller soap is the one with this geranium EO and lavender. One day two of my customers were fighting over the last bar!

I made a blend with a few other oils that turned out not to smell the greatest. Then I added 2 little drops of this wonderful smelling oil to my blend and whalla! It was fixed. I love the potent smell of this oil!

This is a high-quality rose geranium scent - I really have enjoyed blending it in aromatherapy and also in CP soap. A nice substitute for the highly expensive rose attar.

I have really been enjoying this essential oil. The price offered for this essential oil is wonderful and the quality of it is amazing. It has a really warm rose scent that adds depth to some of the essential oil blends that I make.

I consider myself a huge geranium fan and I can't help but to buy nearly any and every geranium EO out there. This is hands down my favorite thus far. It has none of the sharpness I have found in other lesser quality geranuims. It is nothing but pure sweet, soft floral geranium bliss. I can't say enough good things about this oil - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

I agree with the previous reviewers. This is the most pleasant, soft and rose-like bourbon geranium oil I've encountered. It retains the fresher characteristics of standard geranium EO's but in a subtler fashion, accompanied by a crisp, slightly citrus-like rose/floral top.
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
