Lemongrass Essential Oil Steam Distilled 10ml

Sharp, green and lemon-bright, this essential oil brings the clean scent of crushed lemongrass leaves into a diffuser or oil blend. It is steam distilled from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, giving the aroma a fresh, grassy clarity rather than the sweetness of a citrus peel oil.

Bright lemongrass character

• The first impression is crisp and citrus-like, with a leafy edge that feels clean rather than sugary.
• Its green sharpness works well when you want a room to feel freshly aired and uncluttered.
• In blending, lemongrass sits naturally with other citrus, herbal and woody oils.
• The scent has a lively, direct character, suited to morning rituals, desk-side diffusing or a simple home refresh.

Leaves, steam and scent

This oil comes from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, an aromatic grass known for its lemon-toned fragrance. Steam distillation draws the volatile scent from the plant material without pressing the plant, giving lemongrass oil its clear, grassy brightness.

Lemongrass in context

Lemongrass has long been valued as an aromatic grass in India and is also known by traditional names including Indian Verbena and Indian Melissa oil. In Ayurvedic tradition it appears as a familiar botanical, appreciated for its vivid scent and its place in everyday plant practice. Here, its appeal is simple and sensory: a clean, green aroma that brings a fresh edge to the small rituals of home, from diffusing to careful blending.

Ways to use it at home

Add a small amount to a diffuser according to your diffuser’s instructions, or blend into a suitable carrier oil before any skin use. Always dilute, patch test first, and avoid use during pregnancy, with children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional.

Keep the bottle closed between uses and store it away from heat and direct light. Essential oils are concentrated, so a little is enough.
