Citrus Notes
Citrus notes are bright, fresh, and invigorating, typically made using essential oils extracted from the peel or fruit of citrus trees. Providing a refreshing and energising effect, they're often preferred in summer time.
The use of these essential oils as top notes in perfumes is common, as they create the initial scent impression that is immediately noticed upon application. These oils are known to evaporate quickly, which is why they are often blended with other ingredients to produce a more sophisticated and long-lasting aroma.
