Cvet kinota

Petitgrain's bitter cousin in bloom. Chinotto blossom smells like neroli stripped of its sweetness -- white-floral, green, with a pronounced bitter-citrus bite underneath.

Chinotto, the Italian soft drink made from Citrus myrtifolia fruit, was so popular in mid-20th-century Italy that it rivalled Coca-Cola in domestic market share. The drink is intensely bitter -- the citrus equivalent of Campari.

U parfemima
Chinot to blossom is a bitter-green citrus-floral modifier functioning in the top-to-heart zone. It provides astringency and a distinctly Italian-Mediterranean character to neroli and orange blossom accords. Key construction: neroli with heightened green and bitter qualities via petitgrain, limonene, and bitter-citrus aldehydes. The note works in hesperidic colognes, green-floral compositions, and bitter-citrus accords.
