Citrus Leaves

Citrus leaves are a fresh and green fragrance note with a crisp, slightly bitter scent profile that carries subtle tangy and herbaceous undertones. Their aroma is bright, natural, and invigorating, adding a lively and uplifting quality to perfumes. Citrus leaves impart a refreshing and zesty character and are often used as a top or middle note to create a vibrant and green composition. They pair beautifully with citrus, floral, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, elegant, and full of life.

History & Production: Citrus leaves come from various citrus trees such as lemon, orange, and bergamot, which are grown in regions around the Mediterranean, Asia, and the Americas. While citrus fruits are often used for their oils, the leaves carry their own distinctive, green, and slightly tangy scent. In perfumery, the essence of citrus leaves is often recreated using synthetic accords or combined with other green and citrus notes to capture their fresh, leafy aroma. Citrus leaf notes are valued for their ability to add a crisp, green touch that enhances the brightness and complexity of a fragrance, evoking a sense of freshness and vitality.
