About lemon blossom
Lemon blossom, the sweetly fragrant flower of the lemon tree, is celebrated for its delicate and refreshing aroma. This note captures the essence of lemon flowers at the peak of their bloom, offering a lighter and softer alternative to the sharp zestiness of lemon fruit. Originating from regions where lemon trees flourish, it has been a cherished component in perfumery for centuries, especially in fresh, floral, and citrus-oriented compositions. Its subtle sweetness and airy freshness make it a versatile ingredient, used to add a touch of springtime elegance and uplifting brightness to fragrances.

Synthetic Alternatives

Perfumer's Tips
Lemon blossom is primarily used as a top note due to its light and volatile nature. It's best applied in light concentrations to lend a fragrance an initial burst of freshness without overwhelming the composition's balance.
