Lemon-Scented Eucalyptus presents a fresh citrus-green profile dominated by clean lemon facets with a soft herbal and lightly woody undertone. The aroma is smooth and expansive rather than sharp, reading fresher and less medicinal than Blue Gum eucalyptus. It feels airy, outdoorsy, and gently cooling, with excellent clarity and persistence.

Lemon-Scented Eucalyptus functions primarily as a top-to-heart note, providing freshness and lift with improved longevity over many citrus materials.

Recommended concentration: 0.3-10%

Particularly effective in:
Fresh citrus compositions, green aromatics, functional and clean-air profiles

Blends well with:
Citrus oils (lemon, bergamot, lime)
Aromatics (lavender, rosemary, basil)
Woods and musks for balance and diffusion

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including soaps, candles, room sprays, and home fragrance

It offers a long-lasting lemon impression without phototoxicity concerns associated with some citrus peel oils.
