The character

What Citrus actually smells like

Citrus is a composed accord rather than a single-fruit extract, blended to deliver rounded, all-purpose brightness without committing to lemon, orange, or any one citrus peel in particular. It's built to be the generalist of the family.

That flexibility is exactly why it's suited to any room — the reach-for-it default when you want something bright and simply don't want to choose between the more specific citrus notes.

A note on safety

For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
