Aromatherapist notes: This very well crafted lemon essential oil comes from a small batch distiller in Italy. While my distiller in Italy is known for his amazing certified organic cold pressed bergamot, I actually had to get on a wait list my first year to even get his lemon oil. I am so glad I did because this one is truly amazing and worth every penny! I use this oil a lot in emotionally supportive blends as it really does add  a little happiness and fun as a top note that is very uplifting.
