Slightly sweet, powerful and lemony scent. Its most useful quality seems to be as an insect repellant and may also help pets get rid of fleas.
Also known to clear the mind, may be useful for headaches and migraines. Its deodorant and stimulating properties always refresh sweaty tired feet. Blends well with citrus oils, cedarwood, eucalyptus, peppermint, and eucalyptus. Flash point: 170°F.

I use this EO with lavender EO, rosemary EO and a hint of patchouli to make a bug-repelling soap for the summertime. The citronella on its own in the bottle is strong enough to give me a headache, but in the blend in the soap it adds a sweet summery scent to the blend and definitely reminds me of campouts and summer BBQs. It's great to have a natural alternative to spray-on chemicals to deter bugs.

I used a combo of this citronella and camden grey cedar atlas and eucalyptus essential oils to make a wonderful camping bug repelling soap. I feel better using essential oils that are natural compared with chemicals like deet. Also works great for the dog!
Thinking about making a spray with the same combo.

Very strong, distict astringent-like aroma, anyone who has ever smelled it will know it instantly. Works best with other strong scents, otherwise it will simply overpower them. I like it with Peppermint or Sweet Orange, also works good in Pine Tar CP Soap.

I make a natural 'bug off' blend that I put on the kids with this and it works great! I also use it in summertime soap to help keep the skeeters at bay! It even helps when put on a cotton ball and rubbed on the front door frame and screen to discourage mosquitoes from coming in with the kids!
