The name says it all: two kinds of grass and a bit of lemon. Citronella is bold and slightly sweet like hay, lemongrass is sharper and fresher, and lemon pops bright right at the top. A familiar, very Vietnamese scent for the living room, kitchen or hallway in rainy season. Afternoons with the doors open to the breeze are the perfect time to run the diffuser; if it feels too grassy, add 1 drop of lemon to balance it.

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.
Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
