Why does the label say 'Melissa' but the description mentions lemongrass? — AromaSaules Natural Essential Oil "Melissa"

The name Melissa is used in its aromatic sense, similar to how the word bergamot can refer to both a citrus fruit and a type of mint. This particular oil is made from Cymbopogon winterianus, a specific type of aromatic grass commonly known as Java citronella or a lemongrass variant. This botanical source produces a very different aroma profile from true lemon balm (Melissa officinalis). While the label provides a familiar, appealing name, the detailed botanical description is your guide to the actual experience. You can expect a bright, sharp, green-citrus and slightly herbal scent, ideal for freshening a room or creating blends with other fresh notes, rather than the soft, sweet, honey-like floral character associated with traditional melissa.
