Листя цитрона

Bitter citrus green, leathery, with the pungent zest of the citron tree's foliage. Citron leaf smells like crushing a thick, dark-green Citrus medica leaf -- oilier and more bitter than lemon leaf.

У парфумерії
Citron leaf is a bitter-green citrus modifier in the top-to-heart zone. Rougher and more bitter than petitgrain or lemon leaf, with a leathery-vegetal green character. Reconstructed from petitgrain, bitter-citrus notes, and green-leaf aldehydes. Works in Mediterranean, archaic-citrus, and green-herbal compositions.
