Product Overview

Lemon Verbena Essential Oil—revered across French haute perfumery as Verveine Odorante (Aloysia citrodora)—is an extraordinarily refined, intensely luminous, crisp citrus-herbaceous and softly floral-fruity essential oil steam-distilled from the delicate lemon-scented leaves of the verbena shrub. Naturally rich in citral (geranial and neral, typically 25%–42%), d-limonene, 1,8-cineole, and ar-curcumene / beta-caryophyllene, it delivers a far cleaner, greener, and more aristocratic lemon-petal bouquet than lemongrass or lemon peel—uniting crushed green-leaf freshness and sparkling lemon-sherbet radiance with delicate neroli-rose floralcy and warm woody-herbaceous undertones. Prized in luxury eau de cologne, prestige citrus-aromatic perfumery, fine soaps, and uplifting aromatherapy, it imparts unmistakable botanical sophistication.
