History

Exuding a rich, fresh, uplifting scent similar to that of lemon, this fragrant grass has earned the name Citronella from the French word meaning “lemon balm.” Citronella is commonly mistaken for Lemongrass, as they share a similar appearance, growth, and processing method; however, the two plants are considered to be “cousins,” as they simply belong to the same plant family – the Cymbopogon family, which is commonly referred to simply as Lemongrass.

The easiest way to tell them apart is to remember that Lemongrass has off-white pseudostems while those of the Citronella plant are reddish in color. For centuries, Citronella Oil has been a natural medicinal remedy and a food ingredient in Asia. It is traditionally used as a flavoring agent in culinary applications, a soothing agent for pain, infections, rashes, and inflammation, a non-toxic insect-repelling agent, a natural and fragrant household cleaning agent, and an ingredient in perfumery, soaps, detergents, scented candles, and cosmetic products.

Citronella Oil continues to be valued and applied for its cleansing, disinfecting, freshening, and deodorizing properties.

Natural insect repellent: Mix 10 drops Citronella with 100ml water + 1 tsp witch hazel in a spray bottle. Shake well before use.
Foot deodorizing rub: Add 2 drops Citronella + 2 drops Tea Tree to 1 tbsp coconut oil and massage into clean feet.

Fresh Air Blend: 3 drops Citronella, 2 drops Eucalyptus, 2 drops Lemon — diffuse for a clean, revitalized space.
Mood Uplift Diffuser Mix: 2 drops Citronella, 2 drops Bergamot, 1 drop Lemongrass.
Shoe Deodorizer Hack: Add 2 drops on a cotton pad and place it inside shoes overnight.
Citronella, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils to attain this relief while also enhancing circulation and reducing stress and anxiety.

Citronella Essential Oil doesn’t just protect against bugs — it also helps keep your home fresh, clean, and naturally deodorized. Its antibacterial and purifying properties make it a smart addition to any DIY home care routine.

Natural Surface Spray
Mix 10 drops Citronella and 10 drops Tea Tree Oil with 100 ml water and 1 teaspoon white vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake well and use on countertops, sinks, and bathroom tiles.

Trash Can Refresher
Add 2–3 drops of Citronella to a cotton pad or paper towel. Place it at the bottom of your bin or compost container to help neutralize odors and discourage flies.

Shoe & Closet Deodorizer
Place 2 drops of Citronella on a cotton ball or small wooden piece and leave it in shoes, gym bags, or closets to absorb moisture and eliminate bad smells.

Fresh Floor Cleaner
Add 10 drops of Citronella Essential Oil to a bucket of warm water with a splash of natural soap. Mop your floors as usual for a fresh, clean scent.

Air-Purifying Diffuser Blend
Diffuse 3 drops Citronella, 2 drops Lemon, and 2 drops Rosemary to cleanse indoor air and refresh your kitchen, bathroom, or entryway.

Though both have a lemony scent, Citronella is softer and more floral, while Lemongrass is sharper and more intense. Citronella is especially effective for repelling insects and refreshing the air without overwhelming the senses.
