The citrus essences in this fragrance are typically expressed or cold-expressed to preserve their inherent freshness. Petitgrain, however, is an exception, as it is derived from the steam distillation of the twigs and leaves of the bitter orange tree.
Citruses provide a refreshing and effervescent quality to fragrances, accounting for the top notes that tickle our noses with pleasure. They help clear the mind and evoke feelings of sunshine and optimism, lending an air of easy elegance and cleanliness. Bergamot, in particular, is a key ingredient in the classic Eau de Cologne formula.
Citrus notes are a classic companion to more tenacious floral and resinous notes in oriental fragrances, and they also pair well with other fruity notes, cutting the sweetness and injecting a tartness.
