Citronella Organic Essential Oil 10ml – Cymbopogon Nardus | Steam Distilled Sri Lanka

Discover the bright, lemony freshness of pure Organic Citronella Essential Oil, steam distilled from the dried grass of Cymbopogon Nardus sourced from Sri Lanka. Fresh, clean and powerfully aromatic — with a bold, citrusy brightness, a warm, grassy sweetness and a light, woody depth — Citronella is one of the most widely recognised, versatile and naturally uplifting essential oils in aromatherapy and natural home fragrance.

Cymbopogon Nardus — the Ceylon variety of Citronella grass — is native to Sri Lanka and is widely regarded as producing the finest and most aromatically complex Citronella oil in the world. Sri Lanka has been the heartland of Ceylon Citronella cultivation for centuries, its warm, humid tropical climate and rich soils yielding a grass of exceptional aromatic quality and intensity. The Ceylon type is distinctly superior in aromatic character to the Java type — fresher, more complex and more richly citrusy — and is the preferred choice of perfumers and aromatherapists the world over.

Citronella has been used across Asia for centuries as a natural aromatic, a traditional cleansing herb and a valued ingredient in folk medicine and home care. Its name derives from the French citronnelle, meaning ‘lemon balm’ — a reference to its characteristic fresh, lemony fragrance. Today, Citronella Essential Oil is one of the most widely used natural aromatic ingredients in the world — a staple of natural home fragrance, candle making, soap and cosmetic formulations, and outdoor aromatic products, prized for its clean, fresh and powerfully uplifting character.

With its bright, clarifying and deeply fresh aromatic character, Citronella Essential Oil is a vibrant and versatile addition to any aromatherapy collection — and a wonderfully uplifting choice for diffusing, candle making and natural home fragrance formulations.
