🏠
Natural Anti-Odour
Citrus and lemongrass are among the most effective natural odour-neutralising fragrances - making this oil particularly valuable in kitchen, bathroom, and workspace candle and spray products.

Versatile Blending Base
Works with mint, basil, eucalyptus, and other citrus or herbal fragrances. Pairs with the ginger note to create warming herbal-citrus blends or with mint for a classic Thai-spa direction.
Candle Maker's Tip
💡 Blending, Positioning & Collection Ideas
Lime & Lemongrass is one of the most commercially reliable citrus fragrances in any candle range - it is universally familiar, positive, and associated with cleanliness and energy. For a spa or Thai-inspired collection, blend with spearmint at 70:30 (lime lemongrass:spearmint) for a classic fresh-herbal result. For a kitchen collection, pair with basil for a culinary-fresh direction that performs exceptionally well in gifting contexts. For a summer seasonal range, combine with coconut for a tropical-fresh twist. In terms of containers and aesthetics, this fragrance suits white, green, and natural linen tones - clear glass vessels and minimal labels. It also makes an effective anti-odour room spray that customers come back to repurchase - a strong format to consider alongside the candle.
Ideal For
Best uses include kitchen and bathroom candles, workspace and home office diffusers, summer and monsoon seasonal collections, anti-odour room sprays, energising bath and body ranges, and gifting sets where a universally fresh, uplifting scent is needed. Preferred by makers creating clean, functional fragrance products and by customers who want a candle that actually makes their space feel cleaner and more alive rather than just scented.
