Most used ingredients in citrus Fragrances
The king of citrus fruits is lemon. But it is not the one in charge in perfumery, as you will see. Surely you will be surprised more than once…

BERGAMOT
First of all, we want to mention bergamot, since although it is one of the lesser-known citrus fruits, it is the most used in perfumery. Why? Because of its intense aroma.
LIME
After bergamot, it is one of the most used citrus fruits to create Fragrances.
Its essential oil is extracted from the peel of this fruit and has a very refreshing aroma and recognizable. Although, yes, it is usually not the main note, but rather complements others.
NEROLI
Neroli is probably the ingredient you knew the least about. Its olfactory note is extracted by distillation of the bitter orange flower, as in the case of orange blossom essence. But the technique used to obtain it produces a softer and sweeter aroma than that one. It smells like a a mix of orange blossom, green leaves, and spices.
