Lemon Zest

Lemon zest is the thin, aromatic outer layer of the lemon peel. It has a bright, fresh, and citrusy scent that is often used to add a vibrant, uplifting quality to fragrances. Lemon zest is derived from the Citrus limon plant and is commonly extracted through cold-pressing or steam distillation.

Fragrances featuring lemon zest tend to have an uplifting, energizing, and refreshing effect. They can help invigorate the senses and elevate the mood. Lemon zest-based scents are often best suited for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather, as they can provide a bright, clean, and invigorating experience.

Lemon zest is commonly used as a top note in fragrances, providing an energizing, refreshing opening. It pairs well with other citrus notes, floral accords, and green, herbal scents. Lemon zest is a staple ingredient in many cologne and eau de toilette formulations, as well as some fine fragrances.
