There's a particular kind of morning in the Vietnamese countryside — before the heat settles in — when the air carries something sharp and green and alive. Walk past a field of sả, and it hits you: that clean, citrus-edged brightness that cuts through everything. Not sweet. Not soft. Awake.
Lemongrass has grown in Vietnamese soil for centuries. It shows up in the kitchen, in the garden, in the hands of grandmothers who knew instinctively what it could do. This is where NOTE's Lemongrass Essential Oil begins — not in a lab, but in that living, breathing plant.
Pure. Simple. Unmistakable.
Extracted from Cymbopogon citratus — the same lemongrass that seasons a bowl of phở, that scents a Vietnamese home — this is a single-ingredient oil. No blending, no layering. Just the plant, distilled into something you can hold in your hand.
The color is pale gold, almost translucent. The scent opens sharp and lemony, then softens into something slightly herbal, slightly spicy — the kind of complexity that only comes from something real. Rich in citral and myrcene, the natural compounds that give lemongrass its signature character, it's the sort of oil that changes the feeling of a room the moment it hits the diffuser.
Three drops. That's all it takes. The air shifts. Something clears.
Add it to a diffuser during a long work-from-home afternoon. Dilute it with a carrier oil after a day of walking Saigon's streets. Let it do what it's always done — cut through the noise, open the lungs, bring you back to the present.

Whether you're looking for something to carry a piece of Vietnam home with you long after the trip ends, or a small, considered gift that holds more meaning than anything wrapped in an airport box — this is it. Small-batch, hand-bottled, made here. A scent that doesn't try to be anything other than exactly what it is.
