Citronella Essential Oil - 10ml | Steam Distilled

Citronella essential oil, steam distilled from the dried grass of Cymbopogon nardus in Java, carries the sharp, clean, lemongrass-adjacent scent that has made it a practical companion to outdoor life and indoor ritual alike - its registered use as a bio-pesticide since 1948 in the USA sitting quietly alongside centuries of use in aromatherapy for clarity and purification.

Use it in a diffuser to clear and refresh a space, particularly in summer months or when the air feels heavy and needs moving. The bright, green scent cuts through atmospheric stagnation as effectively as it deters insects - a purifying quality that makes it a useful companion to cleansing rituals where a lighter, fresher note is preferred over heavier resinous alternatives. Ancient cultures across India and Egypt long reached for the Cymbopogon grasses to clear the air around settlements near water, where insects gathered; that same instinct carries forward into the diffuser today.
