Why does Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil smell like lemon?

The lemon-scented tea tree is a variety of tea tree whose leaves contain aroma compounds that give off a fresh citrus scent. Crush a leaf and you would smell lemon straight from the plant. Cold press extraction takes the essential oil from the plant material without adding chemicals, so the aroma in the bottle is the same one already in the leaves. It is cold pressed in Australia from locally grown plant material.

What is Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil best used for?

Add 2 to 3 drops to the Dish Pump with Dishwashing Liquid for a fresh scent while washing up, a few drops into the toilet bowl after a Loo Cleaner Tablet dissolves, or up to 3 drops in the Atomiser Spray Bottle. Keep it out of the Foaming Spray Bottle, since its citrus-type aroma compounds accelerate wear on the foaming mechanism. Use Eucalyptus Oil in the foamer instead.

⚠ Not in Foaming Spray Bottle

Despite not being true lemon oil, Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil shares some of the aroma compounds that give citrus oils their scent. Those same compounds accelerate wear on the Foaming Spray Bottle mechanism, so keep it out of the foamer. Use Eucalyptus Oil there instead.
