Description of Citronella Essential Oil Ceylon

Citronella essential oil Ceylon has a powerful, fresh, lemony scent. Its oil is yellow to brownish yellow in color. It is steam distilled from a tall grass grown in the tropics. You will find two types of Citronella at The Aromatherapy Place, Citronella Ceylon and Citronella Java. There are a number of differences between the two, the most important being the geraniol content. Citronella Ceylon has a significantly higher geraniol content. However, the oils are similar and can be used in place of one another.
