Miris

Lemon zest has a bright and tangy aroma that is unmistakably fresh and bracing. It has a sharp citrus quality that can be likened to biting into a ripe lemon. The initial impression is clean and crisp, with a hint of sweetness that balances its acidity.

Scent Evolution

As the scent develops, the sharpness of lemon zest softens slightly. The brightness persists, but it becomes layered with subtle green and herbal undertones. This evolution has the complexity of lemon zest.

Signature Accords

After a day on a blotter, lemon zest maintains its freshness while integrating with other notes. The citrus character remains evident, but it may take on a slightly warmer aspect as it melds with sweeter or woodier base notes. This lasting quality enhances its versatility.

Teroar i oblici

Detaljno

Lemon zest in perfumery is the cold-pressed peel oil of Citrus limon (CAS 8008-56-8) — the same expressed material as the culinary 'zest' produced by rasping the outer yellow layer of the rind. The oil is captured by mechanical pressure on the rind's oil glands, with no heat; the volatile chemistry survives the process intact.

Chemistry

Lemon peel oil is limonene-dominant (~65–75%, CAS 5989-27-5) [A], with γ-terpinene (~6–11%), β-pinene (~6–12%), citral (geranial + neral, ~2–5%), neral and geranial each providing the lemon-aldehydic angle, and small fractions of citronellal, linalool, geraniol and α-pinene. The phototoxic furocoumarin bergapten is present at modest levels — IFRA limits apply to expressed lemon oil in leave-on products.
