Lemon Grass Sauna & Steam Room Essence

A concentrated lemongrass essence for saunas and steam rooms. Add a small measure to the ladle bucket water, or dose it through a steam generator essence pump, and the cabin takes on a sharp, clean, zingy green-citrus scent. It fragrances the room only and is not a water treatment.

  4. In a steam room, add the essence to the generator's essence pump reservoir following its maker's guidance.

  6. Reseal and store the bottle cool and shaded between uses.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of product is this?

It is a concentrated liquid lemongrass essence. You dose a small measure diluted into ladle water or a steam generator essence pump to scent the cabin.

What does lemongrass smell like here?

Sharp, clean and zingy, a green citrus scent with a keen edge rather than a sweet or mellow lemon.

How do I use it in a sauna?

Shake the bottle, stir a small measure into the ladle bucket water, then ladle it over the hot stones as usual.

Can I use it neat on the stones?

No. Never drip it neat onto hot stones or the heater. Always dilute it in bucket water or feed it through an essence pump.

How does this differ from the lemon and lavender essence?

The lemon and lavender opens with citrus then softens into a floral lavender finish. This lemongrass is sharper and greener throughout, with no floral note to round it off.

How does it compare with the eucalyptus and jasmine milks?

Those are milk emulsions, one crisp and minty, one soft and floral. This is a concentrated essence with a sharp green-citrus lemongrass character.

How much do I need per session?

Very little. It is a concentrate, so a few drops to a capful scents most cabins and a bottle lasts a long time.

Which size should I choose?

The 5L suits a home sauna, while the 10L and 20L are aimed at busier gym, spa and hotel rooms.

Can I subscribe for repeat delivery?

Yes. Subscription is available so the essence arrives on a set schedule without reordering each time.

Why dose it so lightly?

Lemongrass is a strong, punchy scent and the essence is concentrated, so a small measure is plenty. Overdosing wastes product and can smell too sharp.

Will it work with my essence pump?

It suits steam generators with an essence pump. Follow the generator maker's guidance on filling and dosing the reservoir.

The scent faded quickly, is that a fault?

No, citrus notes disperse naturally as the water evaporates. A small top-up partway through keeps the lemongrass present.

I used too much, how do I recover?

Ventilate the cabin briefly and dose far less next time. A few drops goes a long way with lemongrass.

Does it go into spa or pool water?

No. It only fragrances the air of a sauna or steam room and must never enter hot tub, spa or pool water. It is not a water treatment.
