Acidic Notes

Acidic notes in perfumery offer a sharp, tart scent, often reminiscent of citrus fruits, vinegar, or fresh berries. These notes provide a fresh, zesty brightness that cuts through heavier accords, balancing sweetness and adding vibrancy. Acidic notes often enhance the top layer of a fragrance, creating a clean, crisp opening that refreshes the senses.

History & Production: Acidic notes have been derived from natural sources like citrus peels, green apples, and certain berries for centuries. These materials are cold-pressed or steam distilled to extract their oils, which carry the acidic characteristics. In modern perfumery, synthetic molecules replicate these sharp scents, ensuring consistency and stability in formulations.
