Scent Profile: Citronella is a robust lemony-sweet top note that emerges above the rest. Its unmistakably fresh yet warm scent is grounded by an underlying light woodiness that gradually surfaces.
Citronella stimulates blood circulation, metabolic rate and activity in the nervous system and supports the secretion of bile, enzymes and digestive acids, which work together to improve the efficiency of the digestive system.

Insect repellent:Well-known for its effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes, Citronella is a natural alternative to chemical-based insect-repellents whose toxicity extends to humans. It does so by masking the scent of carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which are smells that are attractive to mosquitoes, present in humans.
Neutralises odours: Citronella’s strong, fresh fragrance is ideal for masking unwanted environmental and body odours, making it a common ingredient in deodorants. Its lively aroma is energising and uplifting, adding to its appeal as a fragrance product.
Oil Control: Citronella can balance the oil production by moderating sebum secretion in the scalp glands, making it suitable for use with dry or oily hair.
Shine and Bounce: Citronella is also effective at removing residual oil and the dirt that it holds on to; the result is to reveal shiny hair with bounce.
