Product Details

Citronella is the scent of outdoor life — fresh, lemony, and bright, with a grassy, slightly herbal quality underneath. Steam-distilled from Cymbopogon winterianus grass, it arrives undiluted and single-botanical, clean and citrusy without being sharp.

Citronella is best known for its classic use as a natural insect deterrent, and many people diffuse it outdoors or apply it diluted before outdoor activities for that reason; its effect tends to be milder and shorter-lasting than synthetic repellents, so we describe that practice honestly rather than promising guaranteed protection. Indoors, its lemony, grassy character is a genuinely effective air freshener that cuts through stale or heavy atmospheres.

In a diffuser, citronella blends well with lemongrass, eucalyptus, and lavender for a fresh, all-day atmosphere; diluted into a carrier oil, it can be applied to exposed skin before outdoor activities, and it works equally well in DIY sprays or candle-making at safe fragrance-load levels.

As with any essential oil, dilute before skin contact and patch test first; those who are pregnant should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Shelf Life & Storage

Cool, dark, tightly capped. Heat and daylight age the oil fastest — store the bottle upright, away from direct sun.

General guide. Stored properly, most single-botanical oils hold their character for a year or more; treat that as guidance and follow any date on the bottle first.

Mind what it sits on. Undiluted oil can mark polished or painted surfaces — decant over something wipeable.

Safety Instructions

Dilute before skin contact. Always mix into a carrier oil before applying to skin — do not apply undiluted.

Patch test first. Test a small area of skin before full application, especially with sensitive skin.

Away from eyes, never swallowed. Keep clear of eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes.

Care with pregnancy. Not recommended during pregnancy without professional guidance.

Caution: For external use only. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with eyes, broken skin, and sensitive areas. Always dilute before skin application.
