East Indian Lemongrass

Cymbopogon flexuosus

About This Material

East Indian Lemongrass essential oil is distilled from the leaves and stems of Cymbopogon flexuosus, a grass native to India and widely cultivated across the country. It is one of India’s most significant essential oil exports and a widely used material in perfumery, valued for its bright, citrus-green character and excellent diffusion.

Olfactive Profile

Bright, fresh, and intensely citrusy with a clean, green, grassy character. East Indian Lemongrass has a sharp, lemony top note with a slightly earthy, herbaceous dry-down. It is highly diffusive and uplifting, with a natural freshness that cuts through heavier compositions.

Perfumery Uses

• Used as a fresh citrus-green top note in aromatic, fougère, and aquatic compositions
• Adds brightness and lift to heavier oriental or woody blends
• Blends well with citrus oils, vetiver, cedarwood, geranium, and lavender
• A widely used material in functional fragrance, candle, and incense applications
