Lemongrass Essential Oil
Product Overview
Lemongrass Essential Oil is a concentrated aromatic botanical oil commonly obtained by steam distillation of lemongrass leaves. It is known for its fresh, lemony, citrus-like fragrance with green and herbal undertones.
Lemongrass oil is commonly associated with the botanical species Cymbopogon flexuosus and Cymbopogon citratus. The exact species, chemical composition and aroma profile depend on the source material and extraction process. Citral is often a major constituent, but the actual content should be confirmed through supplier documentation.

Lemongrass Essential Oil vs Lemongrass Fragrance Compound
Lemongrass Essential Oil is a concentrated botanical extract obtained from lemongrass plant material.
A lemongrass fragrance compound is a prepared aromatic blend that may contain natural ingredients, synthetic fragrance ingredients or both. It is designed to provide a particular lemongrass-style fragrance profile.
Although both may have a similar citrus-like aroma, their composition, stability, fragrance performance and suitability can differ. They should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
