#1 : Lemon.
Lemon blossoms in almost all perfumes, in their top notes. Used is a huge proportion in ‘Eaux de Cologne’ and ‘Eaux Fraîches”, this citrus is accompanied with other ones such as orange, bergamot …
Picked all year, most of the harvest is intended for food industry. Fruit pulp is used for producing juice. The essential oil is extracted by cold pressure on the zest. It’s a quite simple process.
Lemon expresses vitality, happiness, dynamism, youth.
