Lemons as Roman Status Symbols

Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that citrons and lemons were status symbols for the Roman ruling elite. Until the first century AD, they were the only citrus available to Romans. Only wealthy Romans could afford them.

Dating the First Lemons

The earliest citron remains date to the 5th and 4th centuries BC. They were found in a Persian royal garden near Jerusalem. The earliest lemon remains come from the Roman Forum, around the turn of the first century. Citrus began in Southeast Asia.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this lemon essential oil to soap or cream. For a bath, add 10 drops to water and soak for 10 to 20 minutes. For massage, dilute to 4 percent in 96 percent base oil. A cold pressed lemon oil also suits a lemon massage oil blend. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes. Dilute before applying to skin. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

The gift box makes this a tidy present for a soap maker. Many choose lemon oil for bath for its bright, clean scent. A cold pressed lemon oil keeps its fresh peel character. A lemon massage oil blend is another simple use.
