Additional information
The name "palmarosa" combines "palm" and "rosa" (rose), reflecting both the palm-like appearance of the plant and its rosy fragrance.
Palmarosa grass can reach heights of up to 3 meters, forming striking clusters in its natural environment.
In perfumery, palmarosa is also known as "Indian geranium" due to its aromatic similarity to geranium essential oil, even though the two plants are not botanically related.
