Anytime is perfect to try out the fresh lemony scent of Lemongrass essential oil in your home. This tall slender tropical grass is prized for its aromatic properties used in cooking and distilled for its essential oil. Due to its high citral content, the essential oil lends itself to many delightfully fresh and clean aromatic body care products as well.
