Lemongrass is known for its ability to mask strong smells and has been not only utilized for centuries in culinary dishes but also as a fragrance to mask body odor. In Southeast Asia, Lemongrass was historically added to bathwater, and oils from the plants were combed through the hair, mixed into lotions, and incorporated into deodorants.



The use of the essential oil mainly remained unknown outside of Asia until the 17th century, when the oils were distilled and sold to mostly nobility in Europe. Lemongrass was a scent of the upper class, as it was expensive to acquire, and the distinct smell effectively masked body odor, making it a recognizable status symbol. In the 20th century, Lemongrass oil became popular worldwide and is still one of the most used essential oils today.
