Our citronella essential oil is 100% pure and is carefully harvested from the lemongrass fields of Sri Lanka and Java. Citronella has a soft, citrus top note aroma with gentle woody tones. Citronella blends well with many other essential oils, such as bergamot, grapefruit and floral fragrances. Steam-distilled from the long leaves of the different species of lemongrass, citronella has been used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years thanks to its luscious lemon scent and insect repelling qualities.
