Exploring the Citrus Notes
If you’re seeking a fragrance to restore and arouse your senses or a smell to bring a little sparkle to your life citrus accords are ideal. Discover the energetic aromas that are waiting for you by exploring the world of citrus notes:
Orange & Neroli – Sweet and Sour Undertone
Oranges get their aroma from their peel, which has a pleasant citrus scent with a slightly bitter undertone. Popular aroma notes in perfumes include neroli. With hidden notes of orange and honey fragrance designers often enhance their fresh, lemony, and green perfume.
Lemon – Tangy Aroma
The refreshing and tangy aroma of lemon takes center stage when it comes to the touch of citrus splash! Its sparkling freshness will keep you smelling fresh and great in the summer season.
Lime – Lighter Yet Extremely Juicy
The vibrant aroma of lime will help you feel refreshed. It is similar to lemon but softer and sweeter, ideal for bringing a fresh and energizing accent to your personal care routine.
Grapefruit – Exotic and Green Aroma
As a member of the citrus family, due to its distinctive scent grapefruit stands out from other citrus fruits, which offers a boosting yet refined energy. Its scent is a sparkling, sweet-bitter blend that emits richness and wealth. To create a vibrant and appealing opening to the fragrance, the perfume designer often uses grapefruit notes as the top note.
Mandarin – Touch of Harshness
Mandarin is a lively and unique citrus perfume note that has an energizing scent and is utilized in fragrances. With a sense of harshness and greenness, it distinguishes itself from other fruity fragrances.
