Lemon Zest

Lemon zest is a bright, tangy, and invigorating fragrance note with a sharp, citrusy profile that carries subtle green and slightly sweet undertones. Its scent is lively, fresh, and energizing, adding an uplifting and crisp quality to perfumes. Lemon zest imparts a burst of citrusy brightness and is often used as a top note to create an immediate, sparkling opening. It pairs beautifully with floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are refreshing, modern, and sophisticated.

History & Production: Lemon zest comes from the outer peel of the lemon fruit (Citrus limon), which has been cherished for its aromatic properties for centuries. The essential oil is obtained through cold pressing of the peel, capturing the pure, fresh, and tangy aroma of the zest. In perfumery, lemon zest is prized for its ability to add a natural, citrusy sharpness that enhances the freshness and brightness of a composition. This note is commonly found in both classic and contemporary fragrances, offering a vibrant, revitalizing touch that evokes feelings of energy and cleanliness.
