Citronella Essential Oil

Citronella Essential Oil is a fresh, lemony-grassy oil with a bright, uplifting, slightly woody aroma – one of the most recognisable and widely used scents in candles, outdoor sprays, and natural home products. Steam-distilled from the grass of Cymbopogon winterianus (Java citronella) grown in India, it's rich in naturally occurring citronellal and geraniol, the compounds behind its clean, sharp, citrus-herbal character.

For generations, citronella has been the classic aromatic associated with outdoor candles and summer-evening ambience, and it remains a favourite raw material for manufacturers of candles, room sprays, and natural home-care products, as well as an uplifting note in aromatherapy. It blends beautifully with geranium, lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, and tea tree. Every batch of Raasa Oils' Citronella Essential Oil is quality-checked for purity, aroma, and citronellal content and supplied pure – for candle, home-fragrance, aromatherapy, and cosmetic brands, from a 100 ML trial to a 10 KG batch.

Citronella Essential Oil Benefits

Uplifting Citrus Aroma

Citronella's bright, lemony-grassy scent is clean and invigorating. Diffused through a room or blended into candles and home products, it creates a fresh, uplifting, summery atmosphere that makes a space feel bright and clean – one of the most popular natural notes for outdoor candles, room sprays, and feel-good aromatherapy blends.

Outdoor Ambience

Citronella is the aroma most associated with outdoor candles and warm-evening ambience. Its strong, fresh, long-lasting scent makes it a favourite for garden and patio candles, torches, and home-fragrance products designed to create a pleasant, breezy, open-air atmosphere.

Clarifying Feel for Skin

Used in careful dilution, citronella's fresh, clarifying character is a popular addition to soaps, lotions, and haircare products for oily or combination-looking skin and scalp, helping them look and feel fresh and clean while adding a bright, natural citrus-herbal scent.

Clean Scent for Focus

The bright, sharp citrus aroma of citronella feels naturally invigorating. Diffused in a workspace, it helps clear a stuffy room and create a fresh, alert, energising environment – a crisp, uplifting note for daytime diffuser blends aimed at a clean, positive, refreshing atmosphere.

Citronella Essential Oil Uses

Home Fragrance

Citronella is a classic choice for candles, room sprays, reed diffusers, and outdoor/patio products, prized for its fresh, strong, lemony-grassy aroma and good throw. It's the traditional scent of summer-evening and garden candles, giving home and outdoor-fragrance products a bright, clean, open-air character.

Aromatherapy

Citronella's uplifting, fresh citrus-herbal aroma is widely used in aromatherapy diffuser blends, massage oils, and spa products to create a clean, bright, positive atmosphere. It pairs well with geranium, lemon, and lavender for refreshing, energising blends, and is a favourite for wellness spaces wanting a crisp, natural, uplifting scent.

Personal Care Products

Citronella is used, at safe diluted levels, in soaps, lotions, deodorants, and haircare for its fresh, clarifying character and clean citrus scent. It helps products feel bright and refreshing and adds a natural, uplifting fragrance – a versatile botanical note for fresh-scented personal-care ranges.

Natural Home Care

Citronella has traditionally been the go-to aromatic for outdoor candles and natural home products, and it remains a widely used raw material for manufacturers of candles, sprays, and home-care ranges – including those developing insect-repellent-style products. Supplied as a pure aromatic oil, it lets formulators build their own compliant, registered products.
