About italian lemon
Italian lemon, known for its bright and invigorating aroma, is a popular top note in many fragrances. Sourced primarily from the sun-drenched groves of Italy, this note is characterized by its high-quality, intensely aromatic profile. Italian lemons are larger and have a more nuanced scent compared to other varieties, offering a blend of sweetness and sharp citrus zest that is unparalleled. Used extensively in perfumery, Italian lemon adds an immediate freshness that can uplift and energize the composition of a perfume, making it ideal for summer scents and colognes.

Perfumer's Tips
