About lemon crème
Lemon Crème is a distinctive fragrance note that marries the invigorating zest of lemon with the rich, comforting essence of cream, creating a uniquely balanced olfactory experience. This note captures the sharp, bright qualities of lemon, softened by a velvety, sweet creaminess that adds depth and warmth, making it a versatile choice in perfumery. It evokes a sense of freshness and purity but with a luxurious twist, often used to add a sophisticated, gourmand touch to fragrances. Lemon Crème's dual nature allows it to serve both as a lively top note, introducing fragrances with a burst of citrusy sweetness, and as a smooth, soothing element in the heart, contributing to the overall complexity and richness of the scent.

Perfumer's Tips
Lemon Crème is best used in moderation to maintain its unique balance between zest and sweetness. It works exceptionally well as a top note in fresh, summer fragrances or as a heart note in gourmand and oriental compositions. Pairing it with lighter, airy notes can amplify its freshness, while combining it with deeper, warmer notes can enhance its creamy, comforting aspect.
