Lemon Verbena Essential Oil (Aloysia citrodora)

Bright. Uplifting. Exquisite.

Our Lemon Verbena Essential Oil—also known as Lemon Beebrush—is steam distilled from the lush, fragrant leaves of Aloysia citrodora, carefully cultivated in the serene countryside of Morocco. With its crisp, lemony-green aroma and fruity-floral undertones, this oil adds an elegant top note to essential oil blends, perfumes, and body care products.

Due to its low natural yield and the delicate cultivation requirements of the plant, authentic Lemon Verbena Oil is considered one of the more precious and luxurious citrus-scented essential oils available.

Interestingly, the plant’s highly sought-after aldehydic components—Citral compounds like Neral and Geranial—are most concentrated in the spring, before flowering. This makes early-season distillation key to producing a vibrant and therapeutically rich oil.
