About Lemongrass Oil
Sourced from Cymbopogon citratus cultivated in India and Southeast Asia, this essential oil is steam distilled from fresh grass to preserve its volatile components. Its composition is dominated by citral, a combination of geranial and neral, which defines its sharp citrus profile. The opening is intensely bright, crisp, and highly diffusive, delivering a strong lemon-like freshness with a pronounced green edge. Its volatility is high, resulting in a relatively short lifespan, but its impact is immediate and vibrant. Unlike true citrus oils, it retains a slightly longer presence due to its aldehydic structure. In perfumery, lemongrass functions as a citrus enhancer, boosting freshness, projection, and clarity while adding a sharper, greener dimension.
