About Citronella
Citronella (Cymbopogon winteriness)
Fun fact: Citronella has been used in exorcism rituals to get rid of demons.
Citronella is a scent every one knows, but might not love. It's so strong that
even insects are affected by its scent. Used for centuries mainly as an insect
repellent, citronella actually has a wide variety of other uses. Look closely,
