Verbena is an aromatic plant with multiple uses.

Lemon verbena, the only variety used in perfumery, is a shrub whose leaves release a delicate lemon scent.

 

The leaves are harvested before flowering and dried in the shade.

 

Its essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried leaves.
