About

Fresh, zesty citrus fruits

Scent Profile

Citrus notes encompass the bright, effervescent aromas of fruits such as lemon, bergamot, orange, and grapefruit. They are characterized by their sparkling freshness, with nuances ranging from sweet and juicy to tart and slightly bitter. These notes tend to be volatile, imparting an immediate burst of freshness that dissipates quickly.
