LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL - Australia
Lemon Essential Oil
Bright · Zesty · Crisp
Citrus limonum
Cold pressed from the aromatic peel of lemons grown on Meru Country, Australia, Lemon Essential Oil captures the vivid fragrance released when fresh lemon zest is cut or grated.
Immediately bright and sparkling, its aroma is crisp and unmistakably citrus. A sharp lemon zest balanced by a subtle sweetness and fresh, tangy undertone.
As a classic top note, Lemon brings light and clarity to botanical perfume. It lifts florals, freshens herbs and provides a beautiful contrast to deeper woods, spices and resins.
A botanical of fresh zest, citrus groves and Australian sunshine.

Botanical Notes
Lemon — Citrus limonum
Lemon belongs to the Rutaceae family, alongside Lime, Mandarin and Bergamot.
Its essential oil is concentrated within tiny aromatic glands in the outer peel. Cold pressing releases these volatile oils while retaining the vivid character of freshly cut lemon zest.
Compared with the greener sharpness of Lime or the gentle sweetness of Mandarin, Lemon is cleaner, crisper and distinctly tart.
