Fragrance family - Citrus
Citrus scents in perfumes are refreshing, lively and stimulating. They are an important category in perfumery, derived from citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins and grapefruits. Citrus notes are usually used as top notes in perfumes, providing the first scent impression and quickly evaporating after application. The scents are invigorating and uplifting, making them ideal for everyday use and warm seasons.
Citrus scents are extremely versatile and can be combined well with other fragrance notes, such as floral, woody, spicy and aquatic notes. The essential oils are often extracted from the peel of the fruit, while synthetic varieties are used to increase the longevity of the scent.
Some perfumes combine citrus notes with the base of chypre, a fragrance category characterized by oakmoss and patchouli. This combination creates an interesting balance between freshness and warmth.
Citrus fragrances are suitable for people of all ages and can be worn by both men and women. They provide a refreshing and vibrant experience that gives the wearer a feeling of energy and positivity.
