<p>Citronella Essential Oil is a standardised essential oil steam distilled from Cymbopogon winterianus and used in outdoor blends, home fragrance, and body products that call for a fresh lemony aroma. It is especially well known in outdoor sprays, candles, and diffusers where a bright, citrus-herbal scent is wanted. The standardised profile helps keep the aroma more consistent from batch to batch, which can be useful in repeat-blend making. This is a concentrated essential oil and must be diluted before skin use.</p>
<p>♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Citronella Essential Oil because it is one of the most practical outdoor and home-blend oils to keep on hand. The standardised scent profile is especially helpful for makers who want more predictable results in sprays, candles, and repeated batch work.</p>
