Geranium

Geranium oil, distilled from the leaves of a scented pelargonium, reads as a leafy, minty cousin of rose.

Everyday reference
It is the smell on your fingers after you pinch a leaf of a potted geranium.
Versus Rose
Rose is fuller and sweeter, like petals, while geranium is sharper and leafier, with a hint of mint.
What to smell for
Notice a rose-like note that feels green and bracing rather than soft.
