What does Lemon Essential Oil smell like?

Bright, sharp, juicy-fresh lemon peel with a zesty, slightly aldehydic sparkle. Used for instant freshness in top notes of colognes, chypres and functional perfumery; fades quickly so it is often paired with citral or Lemonile for persistence.

What is Lemon Essential Oil made of?

An estimated breakdown, not a certificate of analysis, and it is what PerfuMate sums when it checks a formula: a molecule arriving from three naturals at once is counted once rather than missed three times. Paste your own supplier analysis and it takes over.

Published formulas using Lemon Essential Oil

PerfuMate's own reference accords, published to its community, that reach for this material. The figure is its share of the concentrate.

Which materials are closest to Lemon Essential Oil?

Ranked by how many olfactive sub-categories they share with Lemon Essential Oil, not alphabetically.

How much does PerfuMate know about one material?

What this page carries, beside what the whole catalog carries. Every figure on the right is counted from the file the app ships, at the moment this page was built, so it cannot drift from the product the way a sentence somebody typed would.

And the limits, because they decide how far the rest can be trusted. Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 428 materials carrying no CAS number the 127 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
