Citronella Essential Oil

Bright. Clean. Naturally protective.

Our Citronella Java Essential Oil is steam distilled from the tall, aromatic blades of Cymbopogon winterianus, also known as Citronella Grass, wild-harvested in the lush landscapes of Indonesia. This variety—Java Citronella—is especially prized for its vibrant, citrusy scent and its elevated levels of Citronellal and Citronellol, making it a more potent and aromatic option than the Ceylon variety.

The oil carries a refreshing lemony-green aroma with subtle woodsy undertones and presents a bright top-middle note that blends beautifully with citrus, floral, herbaceous, grassy, and woody essential oils.
