Chinotto Peel

Chinotto peel is the aromatic rind of the chinotto citrus fruit, a small, bitter orange variety native to northern Italy. The peel has a complex, bittersweet scent with notes of orange, herbs, and a hint of spice.

Fragrances featuring chinotto peel evoke a sense of refreshment and sophistication. The bittersweet aroma can be invigorating and uplifting, making it suitable for daytime or casual wear. Chinotto-based scents work well in warmer weather, complementing a Mediterranean lifestyle.

Chinotto peel is commonly used as a top or heart note in citrus-based fragrances, adding a unique bittersweet character. It is often paired with other Mediterranean citrus notes like bergamot or lemon. Chinotto peel is particularly prevalent in Italian-inspired perfumes.
