Goes Well With
Lemon Verbena blends wonderfully with other uplifting citrus oils like bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, amplifying its fresh, sparkling character. It also pairs beautifully with calming florals like lavender and neroli, and adds a lovely brightness to grounding base notes such as frankincense or vetiver. In perfumery, it works well as a radiant top note in both fresh and floral compositions.

Directions and Suggested Usage

Diffuse 3–4 drops to fill your space with a vibrant, mood-boosting scent. For topical use, dilute with a carrier oil (1–2%) and apply to pulse points or temples for emotional support. Lemon Verbena also makes a lovely addition to DIY skincare, bath blends, and natural perfumes—but always use sparingly due to its potency.

Caution
Use with care. Lemon Verbena can be sensitising to the skin—always dilute well before topical use. Not recommended for use during pregnancy. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Conduct a patch test prior to use.

Storage
Store in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to protect the delicate citrus compounds and extend shelf life.
