Absolute Essential Citronella (Organic) is used extensively as an effective natural repellent. Citronella has a variety of properties that offer useful applications on your body, in your garden, and in your home. 

Its refreshing, lemon-sweet fragrance and stimulating qualities are cleansing and tonifying for a range of uses. 

A perennial aromatic plant originating in western Malesia. The grass grows to about 2 metres in height and has magenta-coloured base stems. It has been widely used in culinary applications, as a scent in soaps and as a natural insect repellent. 

Fragrance notes:

A bright and crisp aroma with an unmistakable lemon quality.

Blends well with:

Geranium, all Eucalyptus oils, Lemongrass.

  • The scent of Citronella may be irritating to some asthmatics.
  • Never ingest essential oils.
  • Never use them undiluted on your skin. 
  • Never use essential oils topically on babies under 3 months old (except under the guidance of a qualified therapist). If using topically with children, halve the amount of essential oils used (e.g. 2 drops per 10 ml).
  • Avoid continual repetitive use - not more than 4-5 days in any week, unless in severe circumstances or under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
  • Can irritate the skin, dilute well.
  • If accidentally ingested do not induce vomiting, follow with olive oil or milk and seek advice from a health professional.
  • Avoid contact with eyes - flush with water.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Avoid during pregnancy.

For topical use: Blend with a carrier oil before applying to the skin, 5 drops per 10ml of carrier oil (i.e. almond, apricot, jojoba.)

For diffuser or vaporiser: Add 4-8 drops of essential oil as per instructions of device.


Insect Repellent: Diffuse a few drops in a diffuser or apply in carrier oil to the skin to repel annoying insects.

Plant Pests: Citronella can be added to a little warm water, shaken vigorously and sprayed on your lettuce to repel pests, repeat 3 days in a row. 

Cat Repellent: Spray 20 drops of citronella diluted in 200 ml of warm water (with a small squirt of dishwashing liquid) where cats scratch or urinate. They dislike the scent and will avoid these areas. 

Flea Repellent: Add 20 drops of citronella and 20 drops of Eucalyptus to 60ml vodka and 40ml water and spray on carpet and furniture. Repeat as required.

Cymbopogon wintrianus (grass, distilled, certified organic, Nepal)
