Citronella Essential Oil (Nardus)

Citronella Essential Oil is steam distilled from the fresh grass of Cymbopogon nardus, producing a vibrant, crisp lemon-herb aroma with subtle grassy undertones. Bright and refreshing, citronella offers a clean citrus character without the photosensitivity sometimes associated with expressed citrus oils. Traditionally valued in aromatic applications, it is widely used in outdoor blends, insect repellent formulations, and freshening sprays. Its naturally purifying profile makes it a popular addition to soaps, candles, cleaning products, and body formulations designed to feel clarifying and uplifting. In diffuser blends, citronella contributes a light, energising atmosphere that can help refresh the mind and create a sense of clarity.
