Description

Lemongrass Oil is a vibrant natural essential oil known for its distinctive fresh, citrusy, green and herbal character. It provides a sharp yet refreshing botanical effect and is widely used in perfumery when a bright, energetic citrus-green note is desired.

Its aroma combines lemon-like citrus, green, herbal, slightly grassy and earthy facets, creating a crisp and lively impression. Compared with conventional lemon oil, lemongrass often has a stronger herbal and grassy character, making it particularly useful for adding complexity to fresh compositions.

Lemongrass Oil works especially well in fresh, citrus, green, herbal, aromatic and woody fragrances. It can provide lift in the opening while also contributing a distinctive herbal quality to the heart.

Perfumers' Tip

Lemongrass Oil is excellent for creating a bright citrus-green and energetic opening. Combine it with Lemon, Bergamot and Lime for a sparkling citrus accord, or pair it with Lavender, Rosemary and Basil for a fresh herbal composition.

For a clean woody fragrance, try Lemongrass Oil + Cedarwood + Vetiver + Ambroxan + White Musks. Ginger and Cardamom can add a warm spicy contrast, while Geranium can soften its sharper green character.

Because its grassy-citrus character can become prominent, start at low levels and increase gradually during evaluation, especially in delicate floral compositions.
