Tea Tree Lemon (Leptospermum petersonii) Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Lemon Tea Tree Essential Oil is a bright, citrusy-fresh, and cleansing essence distilled from the leaves of Leptospermum petersonii, a native plant of Australia. Despite its name, it is not a citrus oil but a member of the myrtle family, closely related to tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia).
Its fragrance is zesty lemon with a hint of herbal sharpness, making it both uplifting and purifying. With powerful antimicrobial qualities and a refreshing aroma, it is often used in natural cleaning, skincare, and uplifting aromatherapy blends. In perfumery, it acts as a sharp, lemony top note with herbal-green undertones.
At Herbsmetics, Lemon Tea Tree oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where guests experience its sparkling freshness and compare it to citrus and traditional tea tree oils.
