Lemongrass Essential Oil

Summer's now a heat warning, a delayed train and a desk fan running on hope. In-source it.
Summer in the Ovurwurld is now a heat warning, a delayed train and a desk fan running on hope. High-summer freshness got outsourced, and it never arrived. Lemongrass is the bright green blade that in-sources it: sharp, grassy, unmistakably summer, from a shelf.

WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SOLD

Summer, outsourced. It never arrived.

Summer used to be a season. Now, in the Ovurwurld, it's a heat warning on your phone, a delayed train on a melting platform, and a desk fan pushing warm air around a room while quietly running on hope. The bright, green, alive part, the actual freshness of high summer, got outsourced somewhere along the way and, like most outsourced things, never quite arrived. Which leaves the question of where you get it now.

The office air-con is a rumour. The bright green blade is not.

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS

Lemongrass Essential Oil, steam distilled from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus from India, where it once grew wild and was called choomana poolu. Sharp, strong and intensely lemony, with a green, grassy, faintly tropical edge, all citral brightness and cut-grass freshness. It smells like the best hour of a good summer's day, the alive green part the actual season keeps forgetting to deliver.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS

Down in the Scent Sanctum, lemongrass is what Sela keeps in the Summer Meadow, for the ones who've been describing themselves as 'flat lately' to anyone who asks.

  • Summer, in-sourced: Kept for the intention to have the bright, green, high-summer feeling of a good summer, whatever the actual one is doing.
  • The same-day part of flat: For when 'flat lately' has a lot of causes, and the literal air is the one you can fix today.
  • Bright grassy air: Sharp, fresh, intensely lemony grassy air that cuts straight through a dull, stale room.
  • The dull-air cutting hour: For the flat afternoon, the stale desk, the hour that needs the air opened up.

WHY YOU NEED IT

In-source the good part of summer.

Kept for the flat afternoon, the stale desk, the dull-air hour that wants cutting open with something bright and green. A few drops when you want the room to smell of the alive part of high summer rather than the heat-warning part, and to reset a stagnant space in about a minute.

You've been 'flat lately'. Start with the literal air. Same-day fix.

SAFETY NOTICE AROMA USE ONLY FILED THE SENSIBLE DESK

The sensible bit

For aroma use only with suitable diffuser or aromatherapy equipment. Lemongrass is rich in citral and can be sensitising; buy fresh, use sparingly and store away from heat and light. Do not ingest; do not add to food or drink; do not use in baths; do not apply to skin, even diluted or on broken skin; and do not use for massage or personal care. Avoid use during pregnancy and around children under 3. Avoid eyes and sensitive areas. Keep away from children, pets, heat, sparks and open flames. Store upright and tightly closed. Use in a well-ventilated space and never leave heated equipment unattended. Seek professional guidance if breastfeeding, taking medication, managing a health condition, or using around vulnerable people. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

GIFT · THE 'FLAT LATELY' ONE

Same-day fix.

GIFT · THE STALE-ROOM SUFFERER

To the stale-desk one

Cut the air open.

GIFT · THE SUMMER-CHASER

To the summer-lover

Summer, from a shelf.

DO NOT GIVE TO

The person who genuinely loves a heat warning and a delayed train, and thinks a desk fan is 'characterful'. Astonishing, but they exist. Not for them.

Some people like the platform.

Summer, outsourced. It never arrived.

PORTRAIT · SELA
IN THE SUMMER MEADOW
SELA

Sela kept every summer. The trains managed none of them.

Sela is a vila, one of the wild dancing spirits of the high meadows and summer winds, who keep the tall grass alive and moving and the bright green season singing. She keeps the Summer Meadow of the Sanctum, where the lemongrass grows, and she trusts it because it carries the alive part of high summer in it, the sharp bright green the outsourced version keeps failing to deliver.

She has watched the Surfacefolk lose their summers to heat warnings and delayed trains and desk fans running on hope, and describe themselves, flatly, as flat, and she finds it a great pity, because the bright green is not gone. It is right here, in a blade of grass, waiting to cut the dull air open.

So Sela keeps a little high summer in the meadow, in-sourced and undelayed, for the flat ones, and dances it bright whenever they need the air moving again.

Dances the summer meadow bright; never waits for the season; keeps the alive green in-sourced.

Two crates, high summer

Lemongrass keeps company. All of it bright and green.

About 'flat lately':

Start with the literal air.

You've been telling people you feel flat lately, and there are, honestly, a lot of reasons, most of them not fixable by Tuesday. But 'flat' has one component that has a same-day fix: the literal, actual, stale air around you, which nobody outsourced properly and which has been quietly not helping. That part, at least, you can cut open this afternoon.

WAIT FOR SUMMER.BLAME THE DESK FAN.STAY FLAT.
You said 'flat lately' out loud again this week and half-meant the air in the room.

Set the sharp green lemongrass going and let the room fill with the alive, bright, cut-grass part of high summer, in-sourced, undelayed, available now. Cut the afternoon open. See what's still fizzing in there.
