Lemongrass Essential Oil

Citrus, but with the grass still attached.

Sharper than lemon and a good deal more interesting. Lemongrass gives you the lift of citrus without the fruit, which is why it holds its own beside mint and ginger instead of vanishing underneath them.

It is the one to reach for when a room goes stuffy by mid afternoon, and a useful counterweight to anything that has turned too floral.
