The name suggests two things that are not true. Lippia javanica is not lemon verbena, Aloysia citrodora. Nor is it from Java: the plant is native to southern and eastern Africa, and the epithet is a historical misnomer. Zimbani is the trade name.

01 · Origin

An aromatic shrub of the verbena family, Verbenaceae, common across grassland and bush in South Africa. The leaves release a strong scent when brushed. This oil is distilled in South Africa from the flowering plant of conventional cultivation.

02 · Chemistry

1,8-Cineole and camphor give the oil its cool, fresh opening. Citronellol and myrcene follow. Lippia javanica is chemically variable from one population to the next, so the composition of each lot is worth reading against its analysis.

03 · In Practice

Fresh, camphoraceous and lemony-herbal, with a rosy undertone from the citronellol. A top note. Diffusion, massage blends and olfactory study of African aromatic plants. Blends with lemongrass, eucalyptus, rosemary, geranium, lemon and cedarwood.
