Additional information
Lemon oils have a centuries-old history in perfumery, with their earliest recorded uses in the ancient Mediterranean, where they were valued for both their scent and therapeutic properties.
Lemon oil is extracted primarily through the cold pressing method of the outer fruit peel, a process that preserves its most volatile and delicate aromatic compounds.
In aromatherapy, lemon oil is often used to boost mood and focus, while it is believed to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of clarity and energy.
