Lemon

Fine and fruity, organic lemon essence is a must in aromatherapy. When smelled, it soothes feelings of heaviness or "overload" and also promotes concentration. Very pleasant in spring, it revitalizes the whole body. Its diffusion helps to purify the indoor air in winter and distils optimism and good mood. Ideal for staying in shape in all seasons.

Grown in warm and sunny regions, this yellow lemon offers us its original essence, produced in the cells of its outer shell and obtained simply by cold pressing. For convenience, it is called Organic Lemon Oil, but it is an essence, not an essential oil, because of this method of extraction specific to citrus fruits. A fruit that has been known for a long time, its essence will appeal to you.
