Origin

This note is typically constructed in perfumery using natural lemon oil or lemon peel extracts blended with synthetic sweet accords to evoke the effect of sugared citrus. The natural components are sourced from cold-pressed lemon rinds, while the candied effect is achieved through aroma chemicals that mimic sugar and syrup facets.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Candied Lemon primarily as a top note to impart immediate brightness and playful sweetness. It pairs well with other citrus, white florals, and gourmand notes, and is often used to add a sparkling, edible quality to both feminine and unisex compositions.
