Alpha Phellandrene

About this material

Alpha Phellandrene opens with a bright, citrusy zest that has a slightly green, herbaceous undertone reminiscent of fresh-cut grass. As it develops, the scent evolves into a more complex profile, revealing a subtle spiciness and a hint of woodiness that adds depth. In a formula, it acts as a vibrant top note that can enhance freshness and lift other ingredients, making it particularly effective in citrus and aromatic blends. It pairs well with other citrus oils like bergamot and lemon, as well as green notes and light florals. The typical dose in this catalogue is around 18.023%, which allows it to maintain its bright character without overwhelming the composition.
