A note on the scent
Bright, grassy and lemony, with a fresh green zing that instantly recalls Southeast Asian street kitchens. A single, well-diluted drop adds lively character to Thai-style curries, coconut soups, marinades and stir-fries, or a refreshing note to iced tea on a hot afternoon.
Chemical profile
An essential oil is a natural mixture of dozens of compounds. These are the ones that typically dominate it; the exact composition varies from batch to batch.
- C10H16OGeranial (citral A)

For food flavouring.
Only use diluted. Take no more than one drop per day. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Keep out of eyes, inner ears, face, sensitive areas and mucosa. In case of skin contact, dilute generously with a carrier oil.
