Ginger grass (Cymbopogon martinii var. sofia) is a lemongrass family plant native to India. Fresh ginger, warm earth, a faint rose. It differs from palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii var. motia): related, but two separate scents that cannot replace each other.

The oil is steam distilled from fresh leaves harvested in India, unadulterated.

In perfume and room fragrance, ginger grass works as a middle note, linking the layers together.

Dilute to a maximum of 1% for use on skin. Not phototoxic. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life 36 months unopened, 12 months after opening.

Ginger Grass, common Ginger and Palmarosa, the difference:
Cymbopogon martinii has two completely different varieties: var. sofia (Ginger grass) and var. motia (Palmarosa, Sả Hồng). Ginger Grass carries a distinctive earthy ginger scent thanks to its high piperitone content, while Palmarosa leans toward sweet rose, with geraniol dominant. Ginger Grass is also easily confused with common ginger (Zingiber officinale); however, the two species belong to different plant families with distinct chemical compositions and cannot replace each other.
