This vibrant botanical extract is an essential addition to aromatic candles, refreshing room sprays, and invigorating bath formulations, providing an uplifting sensory experience that effectively revitalizes any home environment.
The Composition
Top Note
A bright, lemon-led opening
Fresh, intensely citric, awakening — the breath of the plant.
The first impression is immediate and luminous: a clean, citric brightness lifted with a soft green edge, characteristic of freshly cut Citronella blades at dawn.
