Sweet Lemon
Lemon suggests freshly cut peel: sharp, sparkling and tangy, with a slightly bitter edge. The zest feels more aromatic and textured than the sourness of the juice.

It gives the opening a brisk, clean impression and sharpens herbs, flowers or sweet accords. Woods and musks can carry that fresh impression beyond the first citrus burst.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural lemon oil is obtained from the peel. Perfumers can also build a lemon effect from selected citrus materials, so a listed note does not guarantee a particular extract.
