Understanding the material
Rose-scented geranium materials come from aromatic Pelargonium plants. IFF identifies leaves and stems as the processed parts for its Egyptian oil and describes a rosy scent with green and mint-like facets. The flowers in a botanical image are therefore not the whole story of the perfumery material. A rosy smell does not necessarily indicate rose flower extract.
Smell a geranium interpretation beside a rose fragrance and a green aromatic fragrance. Try to identify the mint-like edge separately from the central rosy character.

Continue with Rose, Clary sage, Bergamot. These connections are comparisons for studying finished fragrances, rather than mixing instructions.
Technical references
Supplier references describe their specific materials. The botanical image is illustrative and does not certify species, provenance, grade or ingredients in a finished perfume.
