Processing Method: Steam Distilled

Description / Color / Consistency: A clear light yellow to brownish liquid.

Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma: A top note of medium aroma, Citronella has a well-rounded lemony scent, though it is much softer and has subtle wood tones.

Blends well with: Bergamot, Orange, Cedarwood, Geranium, Lemon, Lavender and Pine.

Cautions: Dilute before use on skin. For external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals, and should be avoided by those allergic to ragweed; a skin test is recommended prior to use, and contact with eyes should be avoided.
