Botanically distinct from Lemon Balm, true Lemon Verbena is rare because the essential oil yield is low. Due to the low yield, some verbenas are extended or adulterated with easily available citronella or Lemongrass.

This versatile oil is filled with verve and contains unexpected properties from such a delicate, pleasant-smelling oil. A delightful drop in a diffuser or bath awakens the environment to fresh, uplifting clarity. The calming effect of Lemon Verbena Essential Oil is said to ignite desire and inspire regale femininity. Inhale this ethereal lemony verve and be transported to its virtuous Verbena realms.

Size: 2.5 ml and 5 ml
