Product Description

More than just a crisp, fresh aroma, Citronella Essential Oil offers a variety of practical benefits. Its bright lemony citrus scent with subtle woody undertones makes it a popular choice in soaps, candles, and home fragrance blends.

Citronella is most widely known for outdoor use. Whether you're camping, hiking, or simply relaxing on the patio, its vibrant aroma helps keep those outdoor annoyances at bay while creating a fresh, uplifting atmosphere.

Citronella is also a great addition to DIY household cleaners. Naturally rich in constituents such as citronellol and geraniol, it brings a bright, refreshing scent to homemade surface sprays and cleaning blends.

Yellow fly deterrent

"I mix this and lemongrass oil in a diffuser when the yellow flies are bad at work (May seems to be the season), and the scent keeps them away! I like the smell myself. It offers an uplifting vibe and keeps me feeling productive. Nice to control the yellow flies and avoid their painful stings."

Q&A

Since changing the website page I noticed if you wanted to combine oils, it use to say what each oil paired with, I don't notice seeing that now, did they remove that. Thankyou Lorraine
