Citronella was an aromatic plant oil used in rituals and medical treatments.[2]

Availability[]

Aurora's Emporium sold citronella for 7 sp per 1 lb (450 g), meant for priests to use as an aromatic ritual reagent.[1] Insect-repelling citronella candles were also sold there for 3 gp per dozen.[3]

Usage[]

Citronella oil could be used to make candles that acted as an insect repellent, similar to oil of pennyroyal.[3][4] It could also mask odors and scents to avoid being tracked, by scattering the pungent oil about.[2][5]

Citronella oil could be used to make magical candles whose flame could imbue arrows with flame arrow.[6] A certain magically-imbued oil of citronella could be used to temporarily improve the user's personal charisma and magnetism.[7]
