Product Overview
Citronella Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of Cymbopogon nardus or Cymbopogon winterianus, lemongrass-related grasses cultivated widely in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and China. The oil has a bright, lemony, slightly woody-fresh aroma driven by constituents such as citronellal and geraniol, and it's one of the most recognizable scents in outdoor and summer-themed aromatherapy products.
Citronella has a long-standing reputation as a natural ingredient in outdoor and insect-repellent-style formulations, and it remains a staple raw material for brands building candles, sprays, and diffuser blends aimed at outdoor comfort.
How Brands Use Citronella Oil
- Formulated into outdoor sprays and lotions marketed for warm-weather, patio, or camping use
- Blended into candles and wax melts for both scent and traditional outdoor-comfort positioning
- Used in diffuser blend kits paired with lemongrass or eucalyptus for a bright, fresh profile
- Incorporated into pet-safe-formulated outdoor sprays (with appropriate species-specific safety review)
- Featured in seasonal, summer-themed product lines and gift sets
