Lemongrass

5 perfumes

Derived from the Cymbopogon plant through steam distillation, lemongrass offers a sharp, invigorating citrus profile with distinct herbaceous and ginger-like undertones. Primarily a top note, it provides an immediate, zesty brightness that cuts through heavy compositions. In the Gulf market, its crisp, clean character is highly prized for balancing the richness of traditional mukhallats. It acts as a refreshing bridge, lifting deep, resinous bases like oud or amber, adding a modern, revitalizing edge to classic oriental perfumery profiles.
