Profile

“E. citriodora personalities are fresh, alive and love freedom. They are constantly expressing new ideas and are full of vitality and laughter.” (Woodward V, The Fragrant Mind, Doubleday, Great Britain)

Lemon Scented Eucalyptus Essential Oil is distinguished from all other eucalyptus species by the strong smell of citronellal in its leaves. Medium to tall, the tree has an attractive pink or spotted bark and a sparse crown. The Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of E. citriodora and has a colorless to pale-yellow color. Its mobile liquid has a strong and very fresh, citronella-like odor and a sweet, balsamic-floral note. It is confined to subtropical and tropical zones in Australia.

E. citriodora is significantly different to the other Eucalypts – as it does not contain any cineole. Being the main Eucalypt that is used in perfumery, with a fresh lemon scent, it brings a cleansing and uplifting note to any application.

The insecticide properties of Eucalyptus are well-known. Lemon-Scented Eucalyptus has been used for this purpose in indigenous countries around the world over the last century.

The Aromatherapy Place offers a variety of AUROMA Eucalyptus Essential Oils to suit your preference. Over time, treat yourself to a special sensual experience by trying and comparing the qualities of each. There are slight variations in odor, color, and the levels of constituents within each oil. However, the oils are similar and can be used in place of one another. .

Auroma Quality

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
