๐ŸŒฟ Introduction
Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is a radiant, uplifting, and intensely lemony essence distilled from the glossy leaves of the Backhousia citriodora tree โ€” a treasured botanical native to the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. Its aroma is bright, sparkling, and pure , often described as the โ€œqueen of lemon-scented oilsโ€ for its exceptional freshness and clarity.
With its high natural citral content, Lemon Myrtle delivers a scent that is both cleaner and sweeter than lemongrass or lemon peel , combining citrus brilliance with gentle floral undertones. In perfumery, it acts as a powerful top note that brings vibrancy and modern freshness to compositions. In aromatherapy, it is valued for its cleansing, mood-lifting, and emotionally clarifying properties.
At Herbsmetics, Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience how this Australian treasure embodies pure light, energy, and joyful clarity .
