Perfumers' Tip

Lemon Oil CP Italian is excellent for creating a bright, sparkling citrus opening. Combine it with Bergamot, Lime and Grapefruit for a lively citrus accord, or pair it with Lavender, Rosemary and Juniper Berry for a crisp aromatic fragrance.

For a modern fresh composition, try Lemon Oil + Bergamot + Lavender + Cedarwood + Ambroxan + White Musks. Cardamom and Black Pepper can introduce spicy contrast, while Olibanum Oil can add a subtle resinous depth.

Use it to lift heavy woody, amber and oriental compositions, where its fresh citrus character can create an appealing contrast.
