Another staple for me.
I love the scent of this oil. It’s lemony with a citronella vibe and it also reminds me of tree tree or peppermint. It’s fragrance is strong and has it’s own unique accord. This is one oil like to keep for my CP soaps.

Difficult stopper
The essential oil has a light orangey smell. This I found very pleasant, however I nearly spilt the ess oil in this sample bottle trying to get the stopper out. Zalina Barrington (Dip.Aroma 1999)
