Common questions about citronella oil
Is citronella oil the same as citronellal or lemongrass oil?
No. Citronella oil is the natural essential oil distilled from citronella grass. Citronellal, citronellol and geraniol are major constituents or isolated aroma chemicals, not the whole oil. Lemongrass oil is a different Cymbopogon product. If you need an isolate or lemongrass oil, state that separately; this page covers bulk natural citronella oil by type and grade.
What is the difference between Java and Ceylon citronella oil?
Java type is typically associated with Cymbopogon winterianus and Ceylon type with Cymbopogon nardus. Composition, odour character and buyer specifications differ between the two. Name the required botanical type when the formula depends on it, or describe the target odour and composition profile.
Do you supply bulk citronella oil or retail aromatherapy packs?
This page is for industrial and manufacturing bulk enquiry, not retail aromatherapy bottles or ready-to-use mosquito repellents. Send the type, grade, quantity and delivery location for a commercial quotation.
What specifications should a buyer provide for citronella oil?
State the intended application, preferred Java or Ceylon type if known, any target composition or physical limits, and documentation needs. Attach a current specification when matching an existing fragrance or formulation.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a citronella oil price enquiry?
Provide the type or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
