About this material
A Blade of Green Life
Steam-distilled from the slender leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus, Lemongrass Oil EO Lumière captures the exhilarating moment when freshly cut grass meets a flash of crystalline citrus.
Powerful and highly diffusive, it opens with vivid citral, polished lemon zest and a cool green lift before revealing crushed leaves, aromatic herbs, delicate floral-woody nuances and a dry, earthy undertone.
More structured and herbaceous than conventional lemon oil, even a small addition brings clarity, energy and movement to a composition.
It illuminates citrus accords, sharpens aromatic fougères and introduces a distinctive green-lemon signature to colognes, green florals and contemporary botanical fragrances.
It pairs especially well with neroli, verbena, ginger, tea, floral and modern woody themes.
Even at ultra low levels, it can sharpen citrus accords, brighten herbal structures and introduce a distinctive green-lemon signature to colognes, fougères, green florals and contemporary botanical fragrances.
Its combination of citrus freshness and dry, grassy persistence also makes it particularly effective in soaps, candles, household fragrances and other functional applications.
Bold, energetic and unmistakably natural, Lemongrass Oil EO Lumière is an invaluable material for perfumers seeking radiant citrus freshness, botanical texture and lasting aromatic presence.

Documentation Supply PolicyIFRA formulation guide
Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.
Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.
No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Leaf and blossom
With rose and garden floralsExplore a green floral sketch around a clear flower reference. Compare the leafy accent with the flower alone and decide whether the scene suggests a cut stem, a growing garden or a greener abstraction you want to develop.
Peel and leaf
With bergamot and herbal directionsUse citrus as a bright setting for the green material, then try an herbal alternative as a separate variation. Keeping those contrasts apart makes it easier to choose between a peel-focused idea and a leafy cologne.
A shaded wood
With transparent woods and soft muskSketch a green wood direction with a restrained backdrop. Follow the leafy character as the study develops, comparing a wood-only reference to decide whether the scene suggests fresh branches, shaded timber or a softer woodland impression.
