Scent Profile

Lemongrass has a vibrant, lemony-citrus aroma with green, herbal undertones and a slightly earthy, grassy nuance. Its scent is fresh and sparkling, with a sharpness that mellows into a soft, clean finish. The note can evoke both zesty brightness and a subtle, aromatic warmth as it evolves.

Origin

Lemongrass is derived from the leaves and stalks of Cymbopogon species, primarily grown in tropical regions such as India and Southeast Asia. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried plant material.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use lemongrass mainly as a top note to impart freshness and lift to compositions, especially in citrus, herbal, and fougère accords. It blends well with other citrus oils, aromatic herbs, and woody notes, and can add a lively, clean character to both masculine and unisex fragrances.
