CITRAL :: MOLECULE
A concentrated lemon aldehyde found in lemongrass, verbena and citrus peels. Sharp, bright, vivid. Pure lemon peel energy with a slight herbal edge. Strong, direct, immediately recognizable. Defines many classic colognes and citrus-forward structures.
Character: lemon-zesty, fresh-peel, herbaceous, slightly green, aldehydic citrus flash.
USE
Sets the citrus direction with force. Opens a formula with instant brightness. Adds realism to bergamot, lemon and lime notes. Useful for boosting tea accords, verbena themes and fresh aromatic blends. Also helps shape green florals and fruity tops when used in small amounts.
Use at 0.1 percent to 0.4 percent for gentle sparkle. 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent for clear citrus impact. Higher levels require careful balance due to its intensity and reactivity.
