Cedrat
Cedrat, also known as citron, is a citrus fragrance note with a fresh, bright, and slightly tart aroma that carries subtle green and woody undertones. Its scent profile is zesty and invigorating, adding a sparkling, uplifting quality to perfumes. Cedrat imparts a crisp, citrusy sharpness that enlivens fragrance compositions, often used as a top note to create an immediate burst of freshness. It pairs beautifully with florals, herbs, and woody notes, contributing to perfumes that are refreshing, sophisticated, and energizing.
History & Production: Cedrat, derived from the fruit of the Citrus medica tree, is one of the oldest known citrus fruits, believed to have originated in Southeast Asia. It has been valued for centuries for its aromatic peel and has been used in both culinary and aromatic applications. The essential oil is obtained through cold pressing of the thick, fragrant rind, preserving its bright, citrusy essence. In modern perfumery, cedrat is cherished for its ability to add a lively, sparkling touch to fragrances, enhancing their freshness and making them feel more vibrant and natural.
