Palmarosa Oil

Description

It is a wild growing, herbaceous green and straw-colored grass, with
long slender stems, terminal flowering tops and fragrant grassy leaves.
It is harvested before the flowers appear and the highest yield is
obtained when the grass is fully dried – about one week after it has been
cut. There are two varieties of grass from which the oil can be extracted
– motia and sofia. We find the sofia chemotype to be far more active and
pleasant smelling – and for this reason the oil sold by us is from this
chemotype. Palmarosa oil has a sweet floral, with a hint of rose smell
