how palmarosa smells
Native to the Indian subcontinent, Palmarosa is a wild herbaceous plant, growing to a height of nine feet &#40three meters&#41. With long, slender stems, fragrant grassy leaves, and flowers in âterminalâ clusters Palmarosa is a member of the Cymbopogon &#40formerly Andropogon&#41 genus of aromatic tropical grasses. Palmarosa has a soft, lemony-fresh green scent with hints of geranium and rose. Considered a âmiddle-noteâ, Palmarosa essential oil is extracted by steam or water distillation of the fresh or dried grass. Also known as &#40Indian&#41 rosha, Palmarosa oil has been distilled since the 18 th century.
