Originally from the tropical regions of Asia, Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) is now cultivated in several parts of the world, including Madagascar. This aromatic grass is valued for its essential oil, known for its fresh, floral, and delicately rosy olfactory profile.
In Madagascar, favorable climatic conditions and diverse terroirs provide an ideal environment for its growth, contributing to an aromatic raw material with a distinctive character.
A Plant with a Delicately Floral Fragrance
Palmarosa belongs to the Poaceae family, like lemongrass and citronella. Its essential oil is primarily obtained from the aerial parts of the plant.
Its olfactory profile combines floral, fresh, and slightly herbaceous notes, with a softness that subtly recalls the scent of rose. One of its main constituents, geraniol, plays an important role in shaping its characteristic aroma.
From Plant to Essential Oil
At Aromeya, Palmarosa essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the plant’s aerial parts.
The plant material is carefully prepared and placed in the distillation unit. Steam carries the plant’s volatile aromatic compounds, which are then condensed, allowing the essential oil to be separated from the hydrosol.
Each step contributes to preserving the plant’s natural characteristics and distinctive aromatic profile.
An Essence Appreciated in Perfumery
Palmarosa essential oil is of interest to professionals looking for a natural ingredient capable of bringing a fresh, floral, and elegant facet to their compositions.
It can be incorporated into a variety of fragrance creations and natural formulations, either on its own or combined with other aromatic ingredients.
