Review: quality as expected, smell and performs as it should, good for bug repellant - NOW brand 100% pure citronella (cymbopogon winterianus) is steam distilled from fresh and dried citronella grass. I bought it for use in making a mosquito repellent (plenty of recipes online. Most all basically use a few essential oils, some vodka to preserve, some water, witch hazel, a splash of oil- all in a bottle and shaken up to mix). I spray it on my body, my clothes, around the area I am hanging out in (on lawn furniture, grass, umbrella, etc)-- all to help reduce the mosquito population at that time. I don't want to use DEET for daily use, as I am outside a lot with my dogs, and I don't want to come in and track that all inside. Using citronella as well as lemon eucalyptus for bug repelling, and a few others for additional aroma, is much preferred. I purchased the 4 ounce amber glass bottle with screw on lid. Some other purchasing choices on the page include a glass or plastic pipette. So keep that in mind if you are purchasing this style and size- you will want a pipette or something if you don't already have one. I have several, so it was of no concern to me. Thought you may find that bit of information helpful though.
Review: It may not keep mosquitos away but it keeps them from biting me! - I think this line of essential oils has got to be the most consistent and legit product of all the retail brands on the market. It’s fairly priced and doesn’t have a funky consistency. I use it in my shop to keep the Texas mosquitos at bay. I don’t know if it really works or if I’m not using the right amount as I still see them in the shop, but I don’t get bit so that’s all that matters! Also - I’m comparing this to other essential oils - this doesn’t leave a funky stain, it’s truly an oil, and while citronella isn’t the best smelling oil I immediately notice the quality of how long it lasts in my diffuser vs using other brands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LAVENDERLISHES
*by M***Z on September 12, 2024*

I've used essential oils for many years from different companies and this is one of my favorites. I substitute essential oils for a lot of the toxic cleaners that I was using years ago. For instance I spray some on the wooden floors with a hot damp mop, it works well in my diffuser to help keep flying bugs away ( I combine it with eucalyptus and lemongrass oils also), A piece of cotton with some oil goes in my vacuum cleaner and fills the air with a sweet smell of lavender and I fill a small spay bottle with the above oils plus essential peppermint oil to help keep crawling critters out of my drawers and food cabinets. All of the oils that I mentioned I also purchased from the NOW company. Happy with my purchases from them.
