A Rose Grown as Grass
Palmarosa is the grass that smells like a rose garden. Steam-distilled from Cymbopogon martinii, a tall wild grass of India, it delivers a sweet, rosy-floral aroma at a friendly price, which is why perfumers and soap makers have adored it for generations.
Shop Palmarosa Essential OilPalmarosa essential oil is steam-distilled from the wild and cultivated grass Cymbopogon martinii, a cousin of lemongrass and citronella that grows tall across India's drier plains. Its remarkable natural geraniol content gives a grass the soul of a rose.
The scent is sweet, rosy, and gently green with a soft lemony whisper underneath, lighter and airier than true rose otto. It flatters geranium, bergamot, ylang, and sandalwood, and it stretches precious rose materials in natural perfumery without cheapening them.
Palmarosa graces diluted facial and body oils in rose-leaning skincare rituals, gives handmade soaps and lotions a soft rose-garden note that survives the process, and softens diffuser blends that would otherwise read sharp or austere.
