It has a very bright, sweet, and lemony aroma — often described as more lemon than lemon itself, with a clean, fresh, and slightly floral quality. Native to Australia and one of the most powerfully citrus-scented oils available, with a citral content that can exceed 90%.
A bold, dominant top note — a little goes a long way in blending. Pairs well with other top notes like Bergamot, Lemon, or Eucalyptus Lemon, and middle notes like Lavender, Geranium, or Tea Tree. Popular in uplifting, antimicrobial, cleaning, and fresh summer blends — and a standout in your Australian-origin oils if you're building that story.
⚠️ Worth noting: its very high citral content makes it a potential skin sensitizer — avoid use on sensitive or damaged skin.
