Description and usage notes:
This base by Firmenich has a very attractive refreshing aroma reminiscent of good quality lemon oil, but less sharp and much more floral – in the direction of neroli. Much longer lasting than natural citrus oils with a very light musky background.
Extremely versatile and almost a fully formed cologne-style fragrance in its own right, this base can be used to add a very natural, juicy-fresh quality to almost any fragrance type.
Description from Firmenich: “Odor: Citrus, Fruity, Floral. Use: A delightfully fresh citrus, fruity, floral base.”
