Pure Indigenous African Bluegrass Essential Oil is steam-distilled from wild-harvested Cymbopogon validus growing on Eastern Cape mountains. Related to lemongrass and citronella, it carries a fresh, grassy-citrus aroma that suits energising aromatherapy blends, cleansing space sprays, and outdoor repellant mixes. Known locally as Irwashu (Xhosa) and Tamboekie (Afrikaans).
♡ Why we love it: Bright, clean, and uplifting, it brings a crisp citrus-herbal note that freshens a room and adds focus to daytime blends.
Size: 10ml.

Refreshingly scented - great in the oil difuser
The scent is incredibly refreshing, with a bright, herbaceous aroma that's perfect for creating a calming atmosphere.
