Limonene
Used in 9 formulas
About this material
Limonene opens with a bright, zesty citrus aroma that is immediately refreshing and uplifting, reminiscent of freshly peeled oranges and lemons. As it develops, the scent remains vibrant but can take on a slightly sweet, almost candy-like quality, which adds a playful character to the composition. In a formula, it acts as a top note that enhances freshness and can help to lift other citrus or fruity elements, making them more pronounced. It pairs well with other citrus oils, such as bergamot or grapefruit, and can also complement green notes and light florals. The typical usage in this catalogue ranges from 0.721% to 42.00%, with a common dose around 3.500%.
