Palmarosa is formerly known as “Indian” geranium oil, which is a term that dates back to when the oil was still being shipped out of Bombay. The wild plant, from the Lemongrass family, grows in the area northeast of Bombay and has a long slender stem with a flowering top and fragrant grassy leaves.
