Smells incredible. The quality is exactly what they say it is.
Lemongrass is the oil that does more jobs than any other in this range. Insect repellent. Kitchen spray. Gym bag. Focus diffuser. Floor cleaner. The oil you reach for when you need a room to smell clean rather than perfumed.
Some essential oil brands charge over $40 for 15ml of Lemongrass. At that price you save it for the diffuser and nothing else. You don't put it in a spray bottle. You don't put it on the dog's bedding. You don't use it for everything it was built for.
At our price you use it for all of it. The diffuser and the spray bottle and the laundry room and the back deck at dusk. You stop treating it like a luxury and start treating it like the tool it actually is.
That's the shift. Not the oil. What the price lets you do with it.

In a diffuser
Add 3–4 drops to your diffuser with water. Run for 30–60 minutes at a time — intermittent diffusing is more effective than continuous. A well-ventilated room gives you the scent without the saturation.
As a roller blend
Add the recommended drops to a 10ml roller bottle and top with a carrier oil — jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut all work. Apply to wrists, temples, the back of the neck, or the sternum. Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to skin.
In a spray
Add the recommended drops to 250ml of water with 1 teaspoon of methylated spirits as an emulsifier. Shake before each use. Spray on surfaces, fabrics, or into the air. Not for use on skin unless the dilution is appropriate for the specific oil.
For topical use
Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. Do a patch test on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place — a cupboard or drawer is ideal. Keep the lid sealed between uses. Essential oils degrade with heat, light, and air exposure.
Lemongrass — dilution and caution
Use 3–4 drops in a 100ml diffuser. For skin use, dilute to 1% in carrier oil — approximately 6 drops per 30ml. Patch test before wider use. A known skin sensitiser at high concentrations — never apply neat.

Blend 1: Lemongrass + Eucalyptus + Peppermint — "The Gym Bag"
The three oils insects and bacteria both run from. Lemongrass leads — sharper than citronella, cleaner than anything in a shop-bought spray. Eucalyptus strips the sweat smell. Peppermint finishes cold. Shake it on the inside of the bag before it goes in the cupboard. 6 drops Lemongrass, 4 drops Eucalyptus, 3 drops Peppermint in 250ml water + 1 tsp methylated spirits. You've been double-bagging the kids' sports gear and you know that's not a solution. You want to stop being the person who apologises for the car.
Blend 2: Lemongrass + Tea Tree + Lemon — "The Kitchen Bin"
The bin is the one surface nobody wants to think about. These three do the thinking for you. Lemongrass overwhelms the air, Tea Tree handles what's growing on the lid, Lemon scrubs the inside of your nose clean. Spray the lid, under the rim, and the bag itself when you change it. 5 drops each in 250ml water + 1 tsp methylated spirits. You've already tried bi-carb in the bottom of the bin. This is the next level up.
Blend 3: Lemongrass + Geranium + Lavender — "The Back Deck at Dusk"
The outdoor blend that doesn't smell like a product. Lemongrass keeps mosquitoes at a distance — citral and geraniol, the same actives as shop-bought repellents, none of the DEET. Geranium and Lavender pull it out of insect-spray territory and into something you'd actually want to smell. Runs in an outdoor diffuser or a simmer pot on the BBQ side table. 4 drops Lemongrass, 3 drops Geranium, 3 drops Lavender. Citronella candles announce that you're trying to repel insects. This one announces you're having people over.
Blend 4: Lemongrass + Rosemary + Lemon — "The Study"
Three oils in every focus study you'll read about. Lemongrass keeps you alert without speeding you up. Rosemary is the one with the clinical memory data. Lemon thins the air. Run it while you work — not before. 3 drops Lemongrass, 3 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Lemon. You've never once linked what your home office smells like to how much you get done in it. That changes today.
Blend 5: Lemongrass + Cedarwood + Orange — "The Linen Cupboard"
Cedarwood is what your grandmother's linen press smelled like — and the reason moths stayed out of it. Lemongrass brings it into this century. Orange rounds the edges. A few drops on a cotton pad at the back of each shelf, replaced monthly. 4 drops Lemongrass, 3 drops Cedarwood, 3 drops Orange per pad. The sheets smell faintly of cupboard, not laundry. You want to fix the cupboard. This is how.

How many drops do I use in a diffuser?
3–4 drops in a 100ml diffuser. Lemongrass is a strong middle note — it carries well and you'll smell it at low concentrations. Start conservative and adjust. If you're blending it with other oils, use slightly less Lemongrass than the others so it doesn't dominate.
Can I apply it directly to skin?
Always dilute first. Lemongrass is a known skin sensitiser at high concentrations — the same citral that makes it effective as an insect repellent can cause irritation if applied neat. Dilute to 1% in carrier oil (roughly 6 drops per 30ml) and patch test before use on larger areas.
Is it safe around pets?
Diffuse in a well-ventilated space and ensure your pet can leave the room. Lemongrass is listed as toxic to cats if ingested, and cats can absorb compounds through grooming their fur after contact. Never apply Lemongrass-containing products directly to a cat's coat. Dogs are generally more tolerant of diffused use, but watch for signs of discomfort.
Can I use it as an insect repellent?
Yes. Lemongrass contains citral and geraniol — the same active compounds in commercial citronella repellents. Dilute in carrier oil at 1–2% and apply to exposed skin, or run it in an outdoor diffuser. It's most effective when applied regularly — reapply every 2 hours if you're outdoors.
Does it go off?
Lemongrass oxidises relatively quickly compared to base note oils. Store in a cool, dark place with the lid sealed tight. Expect a shelf life of 1–2 years once opened if stored well. Oxidised Lemongrass can cause skin sensitisation, so if the scent has changed noticeably, retire the bottle.

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus or Cymbopogon citratus depending on origin) is a tall perennial grass native to tropical Asia, now cultivated across India, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa. The oil is steam distilled from the fresh or partly dried leaves — the same leaves used in Thai and Vietnamese cooking.
Its lemon character, like Lemon Myrtle, comes from citral — but Lemongrass also contains geraniol and other terpene alcohols that give it a slightly grassy, complex edge that straight lemon oil doesn't have. It's citrus with a green, herbal undertone.
In aromatherapy it's most valued for its antimicrobial activity, its insect-repelling properties, and its ability to lift a room without sweetening it. It's sharper than Orange and warmer than Lemon — the citrus oil that works hardest.
Our Lemongrass oil is 100% pure steam-distilled oil. No carrier, no dilution, no synthetic fragrance.
