Description

Methyl Pamplemousse, also known as Amarocit, is a distinctive grapefruit-type aroma chemical valued for its fresh, sparkling and slightly bitter citrus character. It captures the vibrant effect of grapefruit while adding green, zesty, dry and subtly woody facets.

It is particularly useful for creating a realistic and long-lasting grapefruit effect without relying entirely on natural grapefruit materials. Its slightly bitter character gives citrus compositions greater freshness and sophistication.

In perfumery, Methyl Pamplemousse is widely useful in citrus, fresh, fruity, green and modern woody fragrances. It can brighten the opening of a fragrance while blending naturally into aromatic and woody heart notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Methyl Pamplemousse is excellent for creating a bright, juicy and slightly bitter grapefruit effect. Combine it with natural Grapefruit Oil for greater realism, or use it with D-Limonene, Citral and Bergamot for a sparkling citrus accord. Dihydromyrcenol can add freshness, while Vetiver and Iso E Super create a modern citrus-woody drydown.
