I love the crisp, freshness
"I love the crisp, freshness of lemon. Thank you!"
Highlight: The sunny citrus staple most people reach for after Lavender.
Lemon (Citrus limon) delivers the bright, fresh, unmistakably sunny scent of just-zested lemon peel - one of the most universally loved and versatile citrus oils in aromatherapy. Cold-pressed from fresh lemon peels, this pure essential oil is a bright top note that lifts every diffuser blend it touches and refreshes any room in minutes. The everyday citrus staple - morning diffusion, afternoon reset, DIY room mists, and the second oil most people reach for after Lavender.

"I love the crisp, freshness of lemon. Thank you!"
"This was my first purchase of the Lemon scented oil and I love it! I use it first thing in the morning to put me in ‘a sunny mood’ and uplift my spirits! When I use it as a cleaning product, the house smells amazing, the moment you walk in the door. :)"
"I purchased this oil to use in a recipe for a "linen" spray to use in a linen closet. The recipe included lavender and lemon and the result is delightful. I picked up my order at the Wyndmere office location and it was ready and waiting when I arrived. I will definitely continue to use Wyndmere products because of their quality and the ease of ordering and picking up."
"Love it!!"
