Brenda –
Has a nice scent, seems like a good quality essential oil.
Sweet S. –
Beautiful geranium essential oil. I use it in my old fashioned rose soap for added floral scent. The seller was quite wonderful, very informative and sent the gc/ms report when I asked if there was one. Their website has a report for every oil they sell as well. I’ve also purchased their basil and was happy with that as well.
Adrienne F. –
I love love love this brand but not this particular oil….it actually gives me a headache when putting in my diffuser and that is just one drop….now do not get me wrong…this oil is pure and has no nasty stuff in it this is just not a smell I like…it is just to strong for my sniffer….
Micha H. –
I purchased this Geranium essential oil from Davina because I have been really liking this brand. I own several of their essential oils and all of them smell so pure. I had been reading up on the properties of geranium on the memory. As I get further into my 40s I find that my memory isn’t as solid as I would like. I purchase this oil to mix with a few others such as Jasmine , Sage ,Ylang Ylang ,Bergamot , Clary Sage , and Mandarine to name a few that can be mixed with this oil with a carrier oil of course for topical use. I’m going to be testing the Geranium with one or two of the above mentioned oils to see which mixture works best for me. I have not bought a Davina oil yet that I haven’t been absolutely thrilled with. This ones great but so are all the others. I totally recommend Davina Wellness oils.
Kris –
Wow! This scent is absolutely amazing In my opinion, is kind of smells like rose petals.I added it to my homemade face wash and it feels great on my face. This is a new addition to my face regiment that I will keep up

Glen M. –
Love this oil! I mix carrier oil, Geranium and Kneads Relief to help with joint inflammation. It really helps a lot!
Nicole M. –
I am proactive when it comes to my female health. At the age of 53 I finally experienced a minor hot flash and thought, “Oh dear God, let’s get this under control now.” So, Geranium is known to aid in regulating hormones. I put this wonderful smelling floral oil on my chest, breasts, and upper back. These areas are known to be the area affected when having night sweats, which I have had a few minor ones. However, it appears that this is now under control due to this wonderful smelling oil.

Geranium oil is a must when it comes to women’s needs, whether it is skincare or balancing hormones, I use this oil in my own blends to help my thyroid function aswell as in my skincare regime, it is a great oil to have in your collection.
