10 percent Oil of Lemon Grass in alcohol. Used for luck and power of all kinds. It is the most popular conjure drug in New Orleans. Those who work with these essential oils know how similar Citronella and Lemongrass smell. Folks with botanical knowledge will also realize the close relationship between Citronella, Lemongrass, Vetivert, Palmarosa, and Gingergrass (in fact, Gingergrass is simply the lesser quality second pressing of Palmarosa grass!). As my Van Van recipe indicated, the addition of Vetivert (Khus Khus), Palmarosa, and Gingergrass was to be in very small quantities compared to the Lemongrass and Citronella, which means that both Chinese Wash and Van Van Oil smell predominantly of citrusy fragrances, with smoky undertones.
