This large herbaceous plant from the lemongrass family thrives in tropical regions. It can reach three meters in height and its long leaves are very fragrant. As soon as they are crumpled, a slightly sweet and woody aroma is released. Its essential oil, with scents similar to those of geranium, offers floral, rosé and feminine notes.
There is a great deal of benefit to be gained from such an essential oil, especially for its fresh aroma, which is very much appreciated in the preparation of homemade deodorants, among others.
