Lemongrass Essential Oil Steam Distilled 50ml

Sharp, green and lemon-bright, this steam distilled lemongrass essential oil brings a clean herbal lift to a room without the sweetness of citrus peel. It comes from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, an aromatic grass valued for its crisp, grassy scent and clear, energetic character.

The scent of cut grass and lemon peel

• The first impression is bright and citrus-like, with a greener edge than lemon itself.
• As it opens, the aroma feels dry, grassy and clean, well suited to morning rituals and freshly aired rooms.
• It has a direct, uncluttered character that works well when you want a simple, focused scent.
• Use it alone for a sharp herbal note, or blend it with softer oils when you want to round the brightness.
• A little goes a long way in a burner or diffuser, so start sparingly and adjust by scent.

Steam distilled from lemongrass leaves

This lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from the fresh or partly dried leaves of Cymbopogon citratus. Steam distillation is a traditional method for aromatic plants, using vapour to carry the plant’s volatile scent compounds before they are condensed and collected as oil.

An aromatic grass with Indian roots

Lemongrass has a long place in Indian plant traditions, where it grows as a perennial aromatic grass and is also known by names such as Indian Verbena and Indian Melissa oil. In Ayurveda, it is recognised as a strongly aromatic plant, valued for its clear, lemon-like scent. Here, its role is best understood as part of a scent ritual: bright, green and practical, with a freshness that feels at home in simple daily routines.

Ways to use it at home

Add a small amount to an aroma diffuser or oil burner, following the guidance for your device. For topical use, dilute properly in a carrier oil first and patch test before wider application.

Keep essential oils away from children and pets, and avoid use during pregnancy unless guided by a qualified professional. Store the bottle closed, upright and away from heat and direct light.

Common questions

Does lemongrass essential oil smell like lemon?
It has a lemon-like brightness, but it is greener and more grassy than lemon peel. The scent feels herbal, sharp and clean rather than sweet.

Can I apply it directly to skin?
No. Essential oils should be diluted in a suitable carrier oil before skin use, and a patch test is sensible before applying more widely.

Can I use it around pets?
Use caution. Many essential oils are unsuitable around cats, dogs and other animals, so keep the bottle and vapour away from pets unless you have advice from a qualified veterinary professional.
