Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil 5ml - Fresh Citrus Aroma - Uplifting

Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil

Lemon Myrtle has one of the brightest citrus-like aromas among aromatic leaf oils.

Its scent is strongly lemony, but because the oil comes from leaves rather than citrus peel, the fragrance also carries a greener botanical quality.

The overall profile feels fresh, clean and lively.

It works particularly well in morning diffusion, fragrance blends or whenever a crisp aromatic note is preferred.

Fresh Lemon & Green Aroma

The fragrance can be described as:

• fresh
• lemony
• bright
• green
• crisp
• aromatic

Although it smells strongly citrusy, Lemon Myrtle is not a citrus fruit oil.

Its distinctive fragrance comes from the leaves of Backhousia citriodora.

Australian Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Myrtle is native to Australia and grows naturally in subtropical rainforest regions.

The leaves are valued for their powerful lemon-like aroma and are used to produce the essential oil.

This oil is supplied as distilled Lemon Myrtle leaf oil.

Its strong fragrance means only a small quantity is usually needed.

Aromatherapy & Diffuser Use

The supplier recommends diffusing Lemon Myrtle for up to 30 minutes at a time, up to three times daily.

Always follow the current product label and your diffuser manufacturer’s instructions.

Because the aroma is naturally strong, begin with a modest amount and adjust according to the size of the room and your own fragrance preference.

Good ventilation is preferable when diffusing concentrated essential oils.

Personal Fragrance Blends

Lemon Myrtle’s bright aroma works well in fresh perfume-style blends.

The supplier suggests combining it with Orange, Clary Sage or Geranium.

Orange can reinforce its citrus character, while Geranium introduces floral softness and Clary Sage adds a more herbal note.

Any fragrance intended for skin should be properly diluted before use.

Topical Use

The supplier directs dilution of one drop of Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil with one drop of V-6™ or olive oil before topical application.

Follow the current bottle instructions and use only on intact skin.

Before wider use, test a small area first and avoid the eyes, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas.

Discontinue use if irritation develops.

Skincare Use

The supplier suggests incorporating Lemon Myrtle into body lotion.

If using it this way, add it only at a suitable dilution and make sure the finished product remains appropriate for topical use.

Its main role here is aromatic.

It should not be described as cleansing, balancing or treating the skin unless such effects are specifically substantiated for the finished formulation.

Meditation & Morning Ritual

Lemon Myrtle can also be diffused lightly before meditation, journalling or morning reflection where a fresher fragrance is preferred.

Its bright aroma can work as a simple sensory cue for beginning a new task or creating a more lively atmosphere.

“Uplifting” here refers to the character of the fragrance rather than a guaranteed emotional effect.

Storage & Care

Keep the bottle tightly closed and store somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat.

Essential oils are concentrated and volatile, so keeping the lid securely fitted helps preserve the fragrance.

Keep upright where possible and wipe up spills promptly.
