Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a fresh, citrusy, and slightly herbaceous fragrance note with bright, green, and subtly sweet undertones. Its scent profile is invigorating, clean, and energizing, adding a zesty and aromatic quality to perfumes. Lemongrass imparts a lively and refreshing touch, often used as a top note to create a vibrant and uplifting opening. It pairs beautifully with floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, crisp, and rejuvenating.

History & Production: Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus or Cymbopogon flexuosus) is native to tropical regions of Asia and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, culinary practices, and aromatherapy. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried leaves, capturing its distinctive lemony and herbaceous aroma. In perfumery, lemongrass is valued for its ability to add a burst of freshness and a subtle, green complexity to compositions. This note is commonly used in both contemporary and classic perfumes for its uplifting and natural scent that evokes a sense of energy and clarity.
