About this material
TEC opens with a bright, citrusy freshness that has a slightly green edge, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or a zesty lemon peel. As it develops, the scent becomes more rounded, revealing a subtle sweetness that softens the initial sharpness, creating a smooth, inviting character. In a formula, TEC acts as a brightener, enhancing the overall freshness and adding a lively top note that can lift heavier compositions. It pairs well with floral notes, particularly jasmine and orange blossom, as well as with fruity elements like pear or apple, providing a refreshing contrast. The typical dose in formulas is around 37.000%, which ensures its vibrant character is prominent without overwhelming other components.
